CORVALLIS, Ore. – Kyle Nobach hit a three-run home run in the sixth inning and Bryce Fehmel scattered three hits and a run in 6 1/3 innings to send Oregon State to a 4-1 victory over No. 18 UCLA Friday afternoon at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field.

With the win, the Beavers have won the series over UCLA for the third consecutive season. Oregon State will look for its second sweep over the Bruins since 2016 with Saturday's finale, scheduled for a 2:02 p.m. PT first pitch on ESPNU.

The game turned into a pitcher's duel through 5 1/2 innings but the Beavers broke the game open with a four-run sixth. Tyler Malone grounded back to relief pitcher Garrett Barker with one down and the bases loaded, driving in the game's first run.

UCLA matched up right-handed reliever Kyle Mora versus Nobach, and the Oregon State senior drove a 3-2 pitch over the left field wall for his fourth home run of the season.

Fehmel used that support to improve to 9-1 on the year. He allowed three singles and didn't give up a run to UCLA until the seventh inning. The right-hander struck out five and walked two.

Zach Pettway started for UCLA and held the Beavers scoreless through five, but ended the day allowing three hits and three runs. He was charged with the loss, dropping to 8-4.

Nobach and Zak Taylor led the Oregon State offensive attack with two hits apiece.
