HONOLULU – Wilson Weber hit a three-run home run in the sixth inning to send seventh-ranked Oregon State to a 3-2 win over Hawai’i Saturday night at Les Murakami Stadium.
Aiva Arquette walked and Gavin Turley singled to lead off the sixth, forcing Hawai’i to go to the bullpen, bringing in right-handed pitcher Freddy Rodriguez. Weber drilled the second pitch he saw from Rodriguez over the fence in center to put the Beavers (34-11) ahead for good.
Weber has three hits in the series, all extra-base hits after he doubled twice in Friday’s 11-4 win. The home run marked the fifth of the season for the senior.
Dax Whitney and Nelson Keljo held the UH offense in check. Whitney started and scattered solo runs in both the fourth and fifth innings. He struck out seven in 4 2/3 innings before giving way to Keljo to end the fifth.
Keljo improved to 3-2 after 4 1/3 scoreless innings of relief. He struck out four, allowing a hit and two walks.
Sebastian Gonzalez started for the Rainbow Warriors (28-16) and worked five full innings. He allowed two hits and two runs while striking out four. Rodriguez took the loss, dropping to 4-1 on the year.
The Beavers tallied just four hits, with AJ Singer picking up two for his 13th multiple-hit effort of the season.
