SURPRISE, ARIZ. – Seven home runs from six different players propelled No. 7 Oregon State to a 15-6 win over New Mexico in front of 3,211 fans at Surprise Stadium on Friday. The seven home runs equaled a program record last achieved in 2015 against Portland.

Tyce Peterson hit his first two career home runs while Trent Caraway went deep in his first collegiate game. Jacob Krieg homered for the first time in his career as well and Travis Bazzana, Micah McDowell and Tanner Smith all went yard for the Beavers, who were one long ball shy of tying the program’s single-game record.

Aiden May took that run support and worked 5 1/3 innings in his first start as a Beaver. He scattered four hits and a run with four strikeouts for the win.

McDowell hit the Beavers’ first long ball of the season in the first, then watched as Peterson went deep on a solo shot in the second.

Caraway hit a solo blast in the fourth, followed immediately by Bazzana. Peterson went deep on a two-run shot later in the fourth as OSU sent 10 batters to the plate and scored seven runs in the inning.

Smith hit a three-run blast in the sixth, followed by Krieg in the seventh, accounting for the Beavers’ 15th and final run of the day.

McDowell, Peterson and Caraway all had three hits to pace the Beavers, who finished with 17 as a team. Peterson and Gavin Turley each drove in three.

Eleven of the Beavers’ 17 hits went for extra bases.

With the victory, Oregon State won its season opener for the 83rd time in school history.
