Beavers Drop Opener In Phoenix
April 12, 2019 | Baseball
PHOENIX – Alex McGarry hit his sixth home run of the season but it wasn't enough as Oregon State dropped the opener of a three-game series to Arizona State, 4-1, Friday night at Phoenix Municipal Stadium.
McGarry opened the game's scoring with a solo home run off a 1-1 pitch from Arizona State starter Alec Marsh. The Sun Devils' starter, however, managed to handcuff the Beavers otherwise. He struck out nine and held Oregon State (23-8-1 overall, 9-4 Pac-12 Conference) to three hits and a walk in a complete-game effort.
Marsh improved to 8-1 this season.
Brandon Eisert started for the Beavers and was one out away from a quality start after he was relieved by Nathan Burns with two out in the sixth. The lefty, however, took the loss after allowing 11 hits and three runs. He is 7-1 on the year.
Arizona State scored two runs off four consecutive singles in the bottom half of the second, and added solo runs in the fifth and seventh innings for its final three-run advantage. Carter Aldrete, Lyle Lin and Gage Workman all had two hits to pace the ASU 12-hit attack.
Next Game
Oregon State and Arizona State continue the series Saturday night at Phoenix Muni. First pitch is slated for 6:30 p.m. PT.
