SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Jacob Melton went 3-for-5 with three runs driven in to pace the second-ranked Oregon State baseball team to a 9-1 win over Utah Saturday at Smith's Ballpark.
Jacob Kmatz scattered five hits and a run in 5 1/3 innings to help the Beavers to even the series at a game apiece. Kmatz became the second Pac-12 Conference pitcher to eight wins this season, joining teammate Cooper Hjerpe. He's also just one of two in the conference with five victories in Pac-12 play – joining UCLA's Max Rajcic - after striking out five.
