CORVALLIS, Ore. – Jacob Krieg, Elijah Hainline and Micah McDowell all homered and No. 6 Oregon State held off a late CSUN rally for a 9-7 win Sunday afternoon at Goss Staidum at Coleman Field.
With the win, the Beavers improved to 15-1 and have won 10 consecutive games after a four-game sweep of the Matadors.
Bridger Holmes came on with two on and one out in the ninth. CSUN took two hit by pitches by Holmes to score a run but the righty ended the game with a groundout to Travis Bazzana for his second save of the weekend.
Krieg hit a three-run home run in the first, then walked with the bases loaded in the fourth for his fourth RBI of the game.
Hainline, meanwhile, made it an 8-2 ballgame with a solo shot in the fifth inning, his second long ball of the season. McDowell hit his second of the season as well, hitting a solo shot in the eighth inning for an insurance run.
Bazzana, McDowell and Jabin Trosky all finished with two hits to lead the Beavers, who tallied nine in the win and 46 over the four-game series.
Eric Segura made his fourth start of the year for the Beavers, and worked five full innings. The righty struck out seven while allowing three hits and two runs with two walks issued. He improved to 3-0 on the year.
Segura’s counterpart, Diego Gutierrez, was charged with the loss to drop to 0-1. He allowed six hits and seven runs in 3 2/3 innings.
