SPOKANE, Wash. – Gavin Turley, Wilson Weber and Travis Bazzana all hit two home runs and Brady Kasper drove in a career-high six runs to pace seventh-ranked Oregon State to 20-13 win over Gonzaga Monday afternoon at the Patterson Baseball Complex.
Turley, Bazzana and Weber highlighted a day of seven home runs for the Beavers, tying the season and all-time program record. Kasper and Weber went deep in the third, then watched as Bazzana and Turley went back-to-back in the fifth.
Turley and Weber each hit their second home runs of the game in the eighth during the Beavers’ five-run frame, one that was well received after Gonzaga (19-26) scored eight in the seventh to make the Beavers’ (36-12) lead 13-12.
Bazzana capped his day with a solo blast down the right field line in the ninth.
Kasper also hit a sacrifice fly in the fourth, drove in two on a single in the seventh and doubled home Dallas Macias in the eighth. Bazzana drove in four while Turley and Weber had three RBI apiece in the win.
Oregon State recorded 19 hits on the afternoon, with 11 going for extra bases. The top five batters in the Beavers’ lineup, which also included Macias and Elijah Hainline, combined for 13 hits. Hainline, a Spokane native, played his fourth career game at the stadium and picked up two hits including a run-scoring double in the seventh.
AJ Hutcheson picked up the win for the Beavers after allowing a run and one hit in two innings, striking out two. He is 3-2 on the year.
Gonzaga’s Matthew Mueller started and took the loss, dropping to 2-2 on the year. He allowed five hits and five runs with five walks and five strikeouts in three innings.
