Ducks Pick Up Road Win At #6 Oregon State
04/22/26 | Baseball
CORVALLIS, Ore. — Ten Oregon pitchers combined to shut down No. 6 Oregon State Wednesday as the No. 19 Ducks picked up a 7-3 win at Goss Stadium.
Â
The Ducks (29-11) scored all seven of their runs in the final four innings after falling behind 1-0 in the first inning. Oregon State (30-9) committed three errors in the game leading to four Oregon unearned runs.
Â
Burke-Lee Mabeus reached base four times (2-for-2, 2 BB) and scored two runs in the win. Jax Gimenez went 1-for-3 and was hit by two pitches, while both Angel Laya and Naulivou Lauaki Jr. scored a pair of runs.
Â
How It Happened: OSU took an early lead with a leadoff home run in the first, but Oregon starter Cooper Strawn was able to get out of a jam with an inning-ending double play with a pair of runners on base.
Â
Oregon finally got some runs in the top of the sixth, scoring three runs to take the lead. Laya walked and swiped second before back-to-back Mabeus and Lauaki walks loaded the bases.
Â
With two outs, Gimenez hit a high chopper to the left side that the shortstop didn't have a play on, allowing Laya to score and tie the game. OSU first baseman Bryson Glassco booted a Brayden Jaksa ground ball allowing Mabeus to score the go-ahead run. Ryan Cooney then drew a bases-loaded walk to score Lauaki.
Â
The Ducks tacked on two runs in the seventh. Laya and Maddox Molony drew back-to-back walks before Mabeus moved them up to second and third with a sacrifice bunt. Lauaki ripped a double over the first-base bag scoring both Laya and Molony to make it 5-1.
Â
Oregon tacked on two more insurance runs in the ninth. The Ducks loaded the bases and scored both runs on a two-out throwing error by Beavers' third baseman Paul Vaszquez.
Â
Box Score Notes: Oregon has won seven of its last eight games against Oregon State … Gimenez ran his reached-base streak to 30 games with a third inning hit-by-pitch … It's the third-longest streak in the modern era of program history … Strawn made his first career Division I start and just his second appearance … He gave up one run on two hits with a walk and a strikeout … Gabe Howard, Cooper Markham, Luke Morgan, Shane Johnson, Toby Twist, Michael Meckna, Tanner Bradley and Devin Bell all pitched in relief … Twist (3-0) picked up the win striking out the side in the fifth inning … Bradley tossed 1.1 innings with three strikeouts … Bell was named to the NCBWA Midseason Stopper of the Year watch list before the game.
