SAN DIEGO, Calif. - The 21st-ranked Oregon State baseball team fell behind early to San Diego State and couldn't get out of that hole in an 18-2 loss to the Aztecs Friday at Tony Gwynn Stadium.
San Diego State put its first four runners on base in the first, and each scored to take a 4-0 lead after one inning.
The Beavers were able to score one in the third when Michael Conforto blooped a single to right, but the Aztecs stretched their lead to 5-1 in the fourth and 8-1 in the fifth when Jomel Torres hit a pinch-hit, three-run double.
San Diego scored in six of its eight innings at bat, including a seven-run seventh to stretch the lead to 14.
The loss went to Oregon State Cole Baylis, who worked 4 1/3 innings and allowed seven hits, eight runs and four walks while striking out four. He is now 0-1 on the year.
San Diego State (2-4 overall) starter Travis Pitcher walked six in four innings and did not get the decision. The win went to reliever Michael Cederoth after the right-hander threw three innings, allowing three hits and a run. He improved to 2-0 this season.
Max Gordon, who appeared in his first game for the Beavers this season, and Michael Conforto each had two hits to pace the Beavers (4-2) in the loss.
John Spirk led San Diego State with three hits while Jake Romanski drove in four runs.
The Beavers return to action Saturday at Cunningham Stadium against host San Diego. First pitch between the Beavers and Toreros is slated for 1 p.m. PT. Follow the game live on the Beaver Sports Radio Network.
