Oregon State Takes Midweek Finale Over SDSU
April 03, 2019 | Baseball
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Five Oregon State pitchers combined to hold San Diego State to three hits in an 8-1 win over the Aztecs Wednesday night at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field.
The five were backed by an Oregon State offense that scored four in the first and ended the night with nine hits and nine walks. Adley Rutschman capped the team's offensive night with a two-run single in the seventh right after Troy Claunch drove in his fourth run of the season via an infield single with the bases loaded.
The win pushed the Beavers to a 6-3 home mark this season and 20-6-1 overall record. San Diego State, meanwhile, dropped to 16-13.
Jake Pfennigs, the third of Oregon State's five pitchers, picked up the win after two scoreless innings. He struck out two to improve to 1-1 this season.
Christian Chamberlain started and allowed one hit and one run in two innings, and was followed by two scoreless frames by Andrew Walling. Dylan Pearce backed up Pfennigs with 1 2/3 scoreless, and Joey Mundt closed out the game with 1 1/3 of his own.
Nine Beavers posted one hit while Rutschman, who also walked twice, led the club with two RBI.
San Diego State's Daniel Ritcheson took the loss after going three innings in his first start of the season. He tossed three wild pitches in the first – which led to the Beavers' first and fourth runs of the inning. Tyler Malone singled home the second and Ryan Ober reached on a sac bunt and an error to push OSU to a 3-0 lead. Ritcheson dropped to 1-1 after allowing five runs and four hits.

Baseballism Is Here
Baseballism opened its first collegiate location Wednesday night on its first night of sale at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field. The "premium off the field brand focusing on the class, tradition and history of baseball" will be located down the left field line at "Banners" for Oregon State home games.
Walling On The Hill
Andrew Walling's appearance Wednesday was his first since March 15 at UCLA. The freshman left-hander has allowed one run – unearned – in four innings. He has not allowed a hit, has issued three walks with two strikeouts.
Mundt, Too
Freshman Joey Mundt made his Goss Stadium debut, entering in the eighth inning. Mundt's appearance was his first since Feb. 16 versus Gonzaga in Surprise, Ariz.
Two Swipes
Beau Philip stole two bases – one in the first and another in the sixth – to become the first Beaver with two stolen bases this season. The junior has stolen three overall this season.
Free Bases
Adley Rutschman drew two more walks in Wednesday's game, giving him 39 for the season, which leads the nation. He's two shy of breaking into the top-10 for a single-season at Oregon State. He's also now walked 119 times in his career, and needs one to tie Ken Bowen (1984-87), Danny Hayes (2010-13) and Michael Conforto (2012-14) for most in a career as a Beaver.
Rutschman To 31
Adley Rutschman drove in two in the seventh, increasing his season RBI total to 31. He's the fifth Pac-12 Conference play to hit that plateau this season and heads into the series with Utah ranked fourth in the league.
