CORVALLIS, Ore. – Jabin Trosky drove in four runs and the Oregon State offense recorded 14 hits and nine walks en route to a 13-7 win over North Dakota State Sunday at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field.
With the win, the Beavers swept the four-game series over the Bison, and improve to 11-1 on the year.

Trosky tripled home three during Oregon State’s four-run first inning, and pushed ahead the Beavers’ sixth run of the game on a sacrifice fly in the third. The four RBI mark a career-high for Trosky, surpassing his three against Nevada in 2022.
