CORVALLIS, Ore. – Jacob Melton and Justin Boyd both homered but No. 2 Oregon State dropped a 7-4 decision to No. 23 UCLA Friday night in front of a Goss Stadium record crowd of 4,128.
Melton hit a three-run home run in the first and Boyd hit a solo shot in the third. The Bruins (35-19 overall, 19-10 Pac-12 Conference), however, prevailed thanks to a run-scoring single by Jake Palmer in the sixth inning.
The Beavers and Bruins enter the final day of the regular season tied for second in the Pac-12 standings, one game behind Stanford, which claimed at least a share of the conference regular season title with a win over USC Friday.
