Fehmel, Beavers Make It 2-0 Vs. USC
May 19, 2018 | Baseball
LOS ANGELES – Bryce Fehmel scattered five hits and a run in eight stellar innings to send second-ranked Oregon State to an 8-1 win over USC Saturday afternoon at Dedeaux Field.
With the win, the Beavers (42-8-1 overall, 18-7-1 Pac-12 Conference) can sweep the Trojans for the first time ever in Los Angeles with a win in Sunday's series finale.
Michael Gretler homered in the fourth and Nick Madrigal drove in three via a triple in the sixth to pace the Oregon State offense, which finished with nine hits. Kyle Nobach, Zak Taylor and Cadyn Grenier all tallied two to lead the team.
Fehmel held the Trojans to a first-inning run, and struck out two while walking one. He's now won in three consecutive starts and moved to 8-1 on the year.
Oregon State opened the game's scoring via a pair of RBI by Trevor Larnach and Adley Rutschman in the first, but saw USC cut the lead in half with a run of its own in the bottom of the inning.
Gretler pushed OSU to a 4-1 lead with his seventh home run of the season in the fourth, then watched as Madrigal's bases-clearing triple in the sixth gave the Beavers a six-run lead.
USC (24-25, 11-18) starter Quentin Longrie lasted four innings before exiting in the fifth. He allowed four hits and four runs and was charged with the loss, dropping to 4-6 this season.

That Would Be A First
Oregon State is looking for a sweep of the Trojans on Sunday, which would mark the program's first ever as the visiting club versus USC. The Beavers have never been in a position to sweep at USC as series victories in 2016, 2010 and 2004 saw splits over the first two games. Neither team has posted a sweep in LA since USC in 2008.
Sweep In LA
The Beavers have, however, have posted one sweep in Los Angeles. Oregon State took all three games at UCLA in 2005.
Extended To 27
Cadyn Grenier extended his hit streak to 27 games by bunting in the first inning Saturday. He has extended it in the first in both games in Los Angeles.
Climbing
Trevor Larnach's first-inning RBI gave him 64 on the year, tying the slugger with Dylan Davis (2014) for the third-most in a single season at OSU. Adley Rutschman drove in his 63rd of the year later in the first, and is in sole possession of fifth.
In The Sixth
The Beavers have been the most productive in the sixth inning this season, and that trend continued on Saturday. Oregon State's three runs in the sixth, thanks to Nick Madrigal's bases-clearing triple, pushed the team's output to 64 runs in the inning this year.
