SALT LAKE CITY – Luke Heimlich tossed a career-long 8 1/3 innings and Jack Anderson and Andy Atwood each drove in two to pace the Beavers in the doubleheader opener in a 7-2 win over Utah at Smith's Ballpark on Saturday.

Heimlich surpassed his previous long stint of 7 2/3 innings earlier this season against Central Arkansas. The lefty scattered six hits and a run – his lone blemish a home run in the ninth inning – and struck out four to earn his fifth win of the season.

Trevor Larnach's sixth-inning double broke a scoreless stalemate, and Anderson drove in two with a double in the eighth to extend Oregon State's (26-9 overall, 8-6 Pac-12 Conference) lead to 3-0. A four-run ninth, punctuated by a pinch hit single from Atwood that drove in two, gave the Beavers their final offensive tally.

Anderson, Larnach, Logan Ice and Trever Morrison all finished with two hits for the Beavers, who collected 11 overall.

Utah (13-22, 8-6) starter Dalton Carroll took the loss after allowing eight hits and three runs in 7 1/3 innings. He dropped to 3-5 on the year.

Game two of the doubleheader – as well as the series finale – is slated for a 5 p.m. PT start.
