CORVALLIS, Ore. – Beau Philip homered twice and Adley Rutschman hit his fifth of the season to send the Oregon State baseball team to a 4-2 series-clinching victory over West Virginia in front of 3,669 Saturday afternoon at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field.

Philip hit a solo shot in the second inning and followed that with a two-run home run in the fourth to give the Beavers the lead for good. Rutschman gave Oregon State an insurance run via a sixth-inning solo blast off West Virginia (5-5 overall) starter Jackson Wolf, who took the loss after allowing five hits and four runs in seven innings. He is 2-1 on the year.

Bryce Fehmel picked up his second win of the season and 28th of his career – good for a tie for fourth all-time at Oregon State (10-0). The righty starter scattered four hits and two runs in six innings. Fehmel’s lone blemish came on a two-run double by West Virginia’s TJ Lake in the fourth inning.

Philip led the Beavers with two hits and his three RBI gave him a team-leading 14 on the season.
