SEATTLE – George Mendazona hit a solo home run in the top of the 11th to send Oregon State to a 4-3 victory over Washington Sunday, giving the Beavers their first three-game sweep of the Huskies since 2005.
Mendazona hit a 2-1 pitch from Washington reliever Steve Emanuels straightaway to center and just over the glove of Husky outfielder Braiden Ward. The home run was the first of Mendazona's career and snapped a 3-3 deadlock since the eighth inning.
Jake Mulholland, who overcame a no-out, bases-loaded jam in the 10th, kept Washington off the board in the bottom half of the 11th to earn his first win of the season.
