PULLMAN, Wash. – Seventh-ranked Oregon State jumped out to an early lead en route to a 12-3 win over Washington State Thursday in the opener of a three-game series at Bailey-Brayton Field.
The Beavers led 9-0 after two innings, thanks in large part to first-inning doubles by Jack Anderson and Kyle Nobach. Anderson’s found the gap in left with two down to drive in three and Nobach drilled a pitch down the third-base line to make it 4-0 in favor of Oregon State.
A five-run second inning extended the lead further.
