CORVALLIS, Ore. – George Mendazona backed up six scoreless innings from Nathan Burns with a game-winning three-run double in the seventh to send Oregon State to a 4-3 come-from-behind win over Portland Tuesday night at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field.
Mendazona smacked a 1-1 pitch from Portland reliever Connor Knutson into right center, enabling Adley Rutschman and Tyler Malone to score before Alex McGarry came home from first with the game-winning run.
Rutschman and Malone had walked to open the inning, and McGarry reached on a bunt single that was intended to be a sacrifice.
