Beavers Take Game One In Missouri
April 13, 2018 | Baseball
Game two of Friday's doubleheader was halted due to rain. The Beavers lead 10-1 in the second; the teams will finish the game prior to Saturday's series finale.
Larnach became the first Beaver to homer twice in a game in two years, and Cadyn Grenier, Andy Armstrong and Tyler Malone all homered in support of Oregon State starter Luke Heimlich.
Larnach's two blasts came in the third and fourth innings, and were both for two runs. He ended the day 3-for-4 with four runs and four RBI.
Grenier, meanwhile, finished 2-for-5 with three runs and three RBI, while Armstrong went 2-for-3 with three runs and two RBI. Steven Kwan also had two hits as Oregon State finished with 14 hits in game one.
Heimlich picked up the win, his eighth of the season. The left-hander struck out 10 in six innings, and allowed seven hits and three runs.
Dylan Coleman was charged with the loss for Missouri State after allowing four hits and six runs in 3 1/3 innings. He dropped to 5-2 on the year.
Game Two
The Beavers took a 10-1 lead into the bottom half of the second and recorded two outs in the frame before a heavy rainfall and lightning forced the teams to delay the game.
The teams will pick the game up prior to Saturday night's originally scheduled game.
Michael Gretler hit a grand slam in the second inning to highlight Oregon State's offense, which tallied seven hits over the first two frames.
Adley Rutschman opened the game's scoring with a solo shot in the first, and that was followed by Malone's second home run of the game.
