SURPRISE, ARIZ. – Travis Bazzana and Gavin Turley each hit two home runs and Oregon State scored a combined 13 runs in the seventh and eighth innings en route to a 15-2 win over CSU Bakersfield Sunday afternoon at Surprise Stadium.

Elijah Hainline also went deep for his first hit as a Beaver and Oregon State has now hit 14 home runs in its first three games in Surprise. Three of the Beavers’ five Sunday came in the seventh and eighth innings.

Bazzana hit a solo shot in the third to put the Beavers (3-0) up 2-1. Hainline had put OSU on the board first in the second, but the Roadrunners (0-3) matched that run on a double in the second.

The teams were knotted at two after six full. Then the onslaught came. Bazzana first deposited a 2-2 pitch over the fence in the right for a three-run blast with one down in the seventh. Then Turley, batting in the sixth spot of the lineup, hit the team’s first grand slam of the season on a ball that cleared the center field fence.

Brady Kasper tripled home three in the eighth to give OSU a 12-2 lead, followed by a run on a wild pitch and Turley’s two home run to cap the scoring at 15 runs.

Tanner Smith led the Beavers with three of the team’s 13 hits. Bazzana, Turley and Kasper all had two.

The OSU staff went three deep in the win. Eric Segura made his first career start and scattered six hits and two runs in five innings. Bridger Holmes came on in relief and held the Roadrunners scoreless over three innings, allowing two hits while striking out two. Joey Mundt then made his first appearance since 2021 with a scoreless ninth, striking out two.

Holmes picked up the win, the first of his career.
