Beavers huge 8th inning leads to a win.

By HD.

Danny Hayes' pinch hit double drove 2 in the 8th inning to give the Oregon state Beavers baseball team a 7-5 win over Indiana on Sunday.

Hayes, pinch hitting for Luke Acosta, drove a two-run double to left with no outs, scoring Ryan Dunn and Parker Berberet, giving the Beavers at 6-5 lead. Two batters later, and with the bases loaded, Tyler Smith walked, giving the Beavers their final 7-5 lead.

Cole Baylis picked up the win after working 1 2/3 scoreless innings. He walked one and struck out two to pick up his first win of the season.

The three runs in the eighth erased a one-run lead for Indiana, 5-4, after seven innings. The Beavers held a 4-3 lead after five but the Hoosiers scored runs in both the sixth and seventh innings to take the lead.

The Beavers were led offensively by Berberet and Andrew Suscac, who tallied two hits apiece. Berberet tied Hayes for the team lead with two RBI apiece.

Despite 7 runs, the Beavers offense was acctuley pretty down today. In the 6th and 7th, the Beavs went 3 up, 3 down. The Offense in my opinion, needs to improve.

Cam Booser started for the Beavers and went three full innings; he did not get the decision. Booser, making his second career start, allowed four hits and a run while striking out one.

The Beavers went to 4-3 on the season and Indiana went to 3-3.
