The 2-seed Beavers took on 6-seed Cal in the late game last night. Thanks to some interesting planning the Pac-12 baseball tournament is playing four straight games on the same field in Scottsdale, Arizona. Oregon State drew the short stick on Thursday night and first pitch started at about 10:15 PM (the game ended well after 1 PM). On the bright side they avoided the hottest part of the day and with their second straight win earned themselves an off day.
Anyways back to the game. Oregon State’s ace, Cooper Hjerpe, got the start and was excellent. He got out of trouble a number of times and only allowed one run (a solo HR) lasting five innings.
