CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon scored four runs in a two-out rally in the eighth inning to go in front for good in a 12-8 win at No. 7 Oregon State Tuesday at Goss Stadium.
How it Happened: Sam Novitske put the Ducks in front for good with a two-out RBI single, scoring Cameron Campbell, who worked a two-out walk after falling behind 0-2 in the count. Tanner Smith followed with a two-run infield single to make it 11-8 before Spencer Steer capped off the scoring with a single to left center, driving in Smith.
The Ducks (19-12) got off to a roaring start, scoring five runs on five hits in the first inning. Smith reached with a one-out double, moved to third on a Steer single and came in to score on a Gabe Matthews RBI fielder's choice. Jonny DeLuca followed with a run-scoring single to score Steer before Aaron Zavala drove in two with a two-out double to the left-field corner. One batter later, Campbell scored Zavala with an RBI single to right field.
Oregon State (23-7-1) scored two runs in the bottom of the first, but Oregon got three in the fourth to extend its lead to 8-2. Matthews led off the frame with a single, then came in to score on Zavala's second double of the game. Campbell delivered his second RBI single of the day before Max Foxcroft plated Zavala with a sacrifice fly.
The Beavers answered by scoring the next six runs to tie the game at eight after seven innings. Nico Tellache came in with a runner on first in the seventh inning and struck out both batters he faced, including Beavers' All-American catcher Adley Rutschman, to end the threat and keep the game tied.
Quotable: Head coach George Horton
On the win…
"It's very difficult to win here. (The way we won) isn't really how you draw it up, but nonetheless, scoring seven runs with two outs and getting that four-run, two-out rally is what it takes to be successful here."
Box Score Notes: Oregon hit 9-for-11 (.818) with runners in scoring position … The Ducks' 12 runs were they most they've scored against Oregon State since May 13, 1978 … The 12 runs are also the most given up all year by the Beavers … The Ducks' seven two-out runs gives them 33 in the last nine games ... Oregon is hitting .319 (23-for-72) in the two games against Oregon State … Ryne Nelson worked a scoreless final two frames, striking out four and walking one … Zavala finished 2-for-5 with two doubles while tying a season-high with three RBI, driving in multiple runs for the fourth time … Smith turned in his sixth multi-hit game, going 2-for-5 with two RBI and a double … He also made a couple of stellar defensive plays in the fifth and eighth innings … Campbell finished with multiple hits for the second time, turning in a 2-for-4 day with two RBI ... The Ducks snapped a 10-game Civil War losing streak.
On Deck: The Ducks jump back into conference play when they open a three-game series at Washington State Friday at 5 p.m.
