After opening Pac-12 play on a high note over the weekend, the Beavers tried to keep the momentum going on Tuesday in Hillsboro against Portland. The night...could have gone better. Portland won the game 5-1 and outhit the Beavs 8-3. The Pilots committed the only error on the night.
Portland got on the board right away when the Pilots loaded the bases and Jake Pfennigs hit UP’s Matt Kelly with a pitch, driving in a run. The Pilots followed that up with a two-RBI single in that frame from Hunter Montgomery.
OSU finally scored in the fourth inning with Matthew Gretler’s first home run in an OSU uniform.
