CORVALLIS, Ore. – Micah McDowell hit two home runs, including a fifth-inning grand slam, to send No. 7 Oregon State to a 15-1 win over UCLA in seven innings Sunday afternoon at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field.
McDowell hit his first, a two-run long ball, in the second, then followed that with the grand slam during the Beavers’ (39-12 overall, 17-9 Pac-12 Conference) seven-run fifth inning. He was followed a few batters later by Wilson Weber’s three-run home run, his seventh of the year.
The game ended after seven due to the 10-run rule.
Eric Segura started and worked five innings, scattering a run on three hits. He struck out four and earned the win to push his record to 6-1 on the year.
Travis Bazzana went 1-for-3, doubling in the second inning. The base hit marked the 239th of his career, giving him the all-time record at Oregon State, surpassing Darwin Barney who had 238 from 2005-07.
McDowell, Gavin Turley and Dallas Macias all had two hits for OSU, which tallied 11 as a team. Seven of the 11 went for extra bases.
McDowell drove in six, Weber pushed ahead three runs on the long ball and Brady Kasper singled home a pair in OSU’s three-run fourth.
Luke Rodriguez started for the Bruins (16-33, 6-21) and allowed seven hits and seven runs in three innings. He took the loss to drop to 2-5.
