PHOENIX – Troy Claunch tied a career-high with three hits and Andy Armstrong, Matthew Gretler and Wade Meckler all homered but Oregon State lost to Arizona State, 11-5, Saturday night at Phoenix Municipal Stadium.
Gretler and Meckler hit back-to-back two-out home runs in the ninth but Oregon State's rally came up just short.
Claunch singled in the second, fourth and sixth innings to tie a career-high previously reached five times, most recently April 16 of this season versus California. In doing so, he extended his hit streak to nine games, where he is 13-for-33.
