CORVALLIS, Ore. – Trent Caraway hit his first home run of the season and doubled three times to lead eighth-ranked Oregon State to an 11-3 win over San Diego Friday night at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field.
Caraway doubled in the third, fourth and eighth innings and homered in the sixth to end the day 4-for-5 with three runs and three runs batted in.
Caraway set a career-high with four hits, and his three doubles tied the Oregon State single-game record.
His four hits, which led the 14-hit Oregon State (8-3) offensive attack, came in support of Beaver starter Nelson Keljo. The lefty struck out a career-high eight in a career-long five innings of work. He limited the Toreros (2-11) to a hit and two walks in his five scoreless.
Keljo earned the win, his first of the year and sixth of his career.
Three different Beavers recorded two hits, including Aiva Arquette, Tyce Peterson and Easton Talt. Peterson doubled and triple while Arquette and Talt each had a double apiece. All told, the Beavers recorded six doubles as a team and eight extra-base hits overall.
Oregon State scored in all but the first and fifth innings.
