The disciplined, patient Beavers bust open a tie game with a seven-run eighth inning; Game 2 is Saturday night.
Michael Lev No team in the Pac-12 grinds out at-bats like No. 1 Oregon State. The Beavers are similar to recent Arizona squads in that respect – they foul off pitches, take close ones and eventually wear you down.
“That’s why they're so good,” sad UA coach Chip Hale, whose team fell to 33-18, 14-11. “They're disciplined. We can do better at throwing strikes. That's part of baseball. But yeah, you tip your cap.” With the bases again loaded, pinch hitter Jake Dukart singled to right off of Long. Dukart fouled off six offerings before notching the base hit on the 10th pitch of the at-bat. The single drove in two runs to make it 7-5.
The evening started promisingly for the Wildcats. TJ Nichols worked around a single and a walk in the top of the first, getting a huge assist from second baseman Garen Caulfield, who dove to his right to spear Jacob Melton’s would-be single up the middle. Arizona then scored a pair of runs off OSU ace Cooper Hjerpe to take a 2-0 lead.
The inning began with an infield single by O’Tremba, who hit a dribbler off the end of his bat toward first and slid head-first into the bag to beat the throw. A walk and a hit batter loaded the bases. Mac Bingham then notched a single off Hjerpe’s glove to score O’Tremba. McClaughry scored on an error by Dernedde. Susac came home on Tony Bullard’s sacrifice fly to right.
OSU left the bases loaded in the third, sixth and seventh. The Beavers worked eight- and 10-pitch walks off Flanagan in those innings. The dam finally broke in the eighth.
