Rainy weather in the Willamette Valley delayed the start of Friday night’s series opener between the Beavers and Ducks, but once the game got underway Oregon State would come out on top. After a mid game delay due to the weather, the Beavers grabbed a lead and hung on to it for the rest of the game, winning 5-1. The win gives the Beavers a 36-9 overall record, and puts them at 16-6, and first place, in the Pac-12.
After a scoreless first, the Beavers got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the second. After Travis Bazzana was walked, a Greg Fuchs single moved him to third base.
