Beavers Take Game One In Missouri
April 13, 2018 | Baseball
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
The teams will pick the game up prior to Saturday night's originally scheduled game.
Â
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.
Â
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.
