#3 Beaver Baseball Roll Past Portland.

By HD.

James Nygren and Ben Wetzler combined to strike out 13 as the third-ranked Oregon State baseball team defeated Portland, 6-1, Tuesday afternoon in a non-conference game at Joe Etzel Field.

The win pushed the Beavers to a 30-8 record, putting them at the 30-win plateau for the second consecutive season and 11th time in head coach Pat Casey's 17 seasons in Corvallis. OSU also extended its win streak over the Pilots to 11 games.

"Credit James and Ben; they threw very well today," Casey said. "James set the tone early and Ben carried it throughout the end of the game. Offensively, we did what we needed to do to get the win."

Neither team was able to do much through three innings, but the Beavers broke the scoreless stalemate with four runs on six singles in top half of the top half of the fourth. Danny Hayes, Kavin Keyes, Parker Berberet and Ryan Dunn all drove in runs with singles off Portland starter Owen Jones.

Those four runs were all Nygren needed as the right-hander worked 5 1/3 innings to improve to 7-1, tying Sam Gaviglio for the team lead in wins. The senior tied a career-high with eight strikeouts and scattered just three hits while walking none.

Wetzler came in and worked the final 3 2/3 innings, striking out five while allowing an unearned run for his first career save. He struck out five and allowed two hits.

Jones took the loss for Portland after allowing all four runs in the fourth. The right-hander dropped to 3-5 this season after walking two and striking out seven.

The Beavers added two runs in the eighth on a Jared Norris double and a sacrifice fly off the bat of Keyes to conclude the win.

Norris led the Beavers with two hits. He also walked twice.

Kramer Scott tallied two of Portland's five hits. Colin Feldtman, who pinch hit in the ninth, singled home the Pilots' lone run.

The third-ranked Beavers now set their sights on No. 24 UCLA this weekend as the clubs open a three-game series in Los Angeles Friday night starting at 6 p.m. PT.

Beaver Baseball Comback to Upset #5 Arizona State.

By HD.

The #14 Oregon State Beavers were facing the #5 Arizona State Sun Devils today in a ranked showdown. The Beavers were looking to defeat ASU, and they did, 5-3.

The Beavers were down early, and Sam Gaviglio looked like it would be another rough outing like last Friday vs. Arizona, he gave up 2 quick runs giving the Sun Devils a 2-0 lead.

ASU had a 2-0 lead until the 5th inning when Tyler Smith would single, but would be thrown out at 2nd, but then Ryan Dunn would score, ending the inning and the Beavers were still trailing, 2-1.

But, in the 7th, the Beavers had their great inning when they exploded with 4 runs, starting out with a Ryan Dunn double to score Jared Norris and Kavin Keyes to give the Beavers a 3-2 lead.

That wouldn't be all they did. Next, the Beavers Tyler Smith had another RBI his 2nd of the game, with a single to score Ryan Dunn.

Ryan Barnes later drove in a run scoring Tyler Smith. The Beavers now led 5-2, heading into the 8th inning.

ASU got a run in the 8th off Starter Sam Gaviglio, and Gaviglio was not about to just go 8 innings, he went all 9.

Sam Gaviglio had a 1-2-3 9th inning to help the Beavers beat the #5 Arizona State Sun Devils. The Beavers will face them again tomorrow, be sure to watch on ROOT Sports. It used to be FSN, but I am not sure why they changed it. The Beavers are now 22-7 and 3-1 in the Pac-10.

Oregon State Wins first game of 3 game series with UC Santa Barbara.

By HD.

The Beavers were looking to take down UC Santa Barbara in the first game of a three game series. They did, 6-3. And, see why Sam Gaviglio's perfecto season has changed, and not changed.

Sam Gaviglio was on the hill for the Beavers, going 8 innings, but his 41.2 innings of o runs given up has sadly ended.

The Beavers scored four runs against UCSB’s ace, Jesse Meaux, knocking him out in the fifth inning and the feel-good vibe about ending Gaviglio’s streak ended there.

But OSU (17-5) scored once in the fourth and then three times in the fifth, chasing Meaux. It was the senior’s shortest start since May 2, 2010 vs. UC Riverside. Meaux allowed four runs in six hits, walking three and striking out one in 4.2 innings.

The Beavers get a big win! woo hoo!

Oregon State scored a run in the sixth and seventh innings to take a 6-2 lead.

Oregon State up to 18th on OMOC Sports Baseball poll, Sam Gaviglio named Player of the week.

By HD.

The Oregon State Baseball team has moved up to 18th in the OMOC Sports College Baseball poll but, they have entered the AP top 25 at #23 for the first time this season.

The Beavers aren't the only team in the top 25 from the Pac-10. Along with 5 other teams, Arizona State, Arizona, UCLA, Stanford, and Califorina.

Now on to Sam Gaviglio.

He has been Hot lately. Acctully this whole season he has.

Sam is 4-0 with a ERA of 0.00. Sam has not yet gave up a earned run this season in 4 starts. Perfect? I think so!

Gaviglio began Oregon State's weekend on the right foot as the right-hander took a perfect game into the eighth inning Friday night in OSU's 4-0 victory. He allowed one hit - a single in the eighth - and ended the game with 14 strikeouts, the most by a Beavers' pitcher since 2001.

It is the second game this season in which he has allowed two hits or less; on Feb. 25, he held then-No. 14 Connecticut to two hits and was subsequently named the Pacific-10 Conference Pitcher of the Week.

He has been of course outstanding lately. But can he keep it up? Perfecto.

Oregon State returns to Goss Stadium Tuesday to start a two-game midweek series with Seattle First pitch Tuesday is scheduled for 5:35 p.m. PT.

Sam Gaviglio throws Two hit shutout as the Beavers top #15 UCONN.

By HD.

Oregon state was much needing a win today. The Beavers have lost 2 straight but that streak stopped today with a 2-0 win over the #15 Uconn Huskies.

Sam Gaviglio pitched extremley well, throwing a 2 hit shutout Gaviglio ended the game with 10 strikeouts, his second career time in double figures, and he allowed just two hits with one walk in his first win of the season.

The righty retired the first 12 batters he faced before allowing a single by first baseman Mike Nemeth to start the fifth inning. He also walked Doug Elliott during the inning, the only time two runners reached base in the same inning.

Gaviglio retired the side in the first, second, third, fourth, sixth, seventh and eighth innings. He allowed a two-out single to John Andreoli in the ninth, but retired Nick Ahmed on a fielder's choice right after to end the game.

The junior finished the game having thrown 115 pitches and faced 29 batters, just two over the minimum.

"That was an outstanding start by Sam and a great way for us to start the weekend," Oregon State head coach Pat Casey said. "UConn is an outstanding hitting team and he was able to control the plate. He is looking very good early on this season."

In two starts this season, Gaviglio has a 1-0 record and 0.00 earned run average in 15 2/3 innings. He has allowed eight hits and two runs - both unearned - while striking out 15 and walking just one. Opponents are hitting .143 against him.

Moving on, this is how the Beavs scored....

Ryan Stamps making his first career start at second, opened the third by drawing a 3-1 walk. He moved to second when Garrett Nash was hit by a pitch. The two then moved up when Glynn was charged with a balk.

Brian Stamps drove in the Beavers' first run of the inning, and what would turn out to be the game-winner, when he grounded out to second on a 2-2 pitch. That scored Dunn, and moved Nash to third, where he scored as the next batter, Luke Acosta, grounded out to short on a 1-0 pitch.
