Last Game
Andy Armstrong, Matthew Gretler and Wade Meckler all homered and Troy Claunch tied a career-high with three hits in an 11-5 loss to Arizona State Saturday night in Phoenix. Gretler hit a two-run home run in the ninth, followed by Meckler, but the comeback attempt was unable to overcome ASU's lead.
Pfennigs On The Road
• Oregon State starter Jake Pfennigs will be making his fifth start away from Goss Stadium on Sunday.
• Pfennigs has thrown 18 innings away from home, scattering 15 hits with 10 runs, including six earned. He has issued just four walks while striking out 18.
• He has combined for 12 strikeouts over his last two road appearances.
Meckler Back-To-Back
• Wade Meckler singled and homered Saturday to push his hit streak to five games.
• Three of Meckler's eight hits during the streak have been for home runs. His solo shot Saturday gave him round trippers in back-to-back games.
Claunch's Nine-Gamer
• Troy Claunch extended his hit streak to nine games with a single in the second Saturday, eventually going 3-for-4. His streak is now tied for the second-longest by a Beaver this season. He is one game shy of tying Andy Armstrong for the longest by a Beaver this season.
• Claunch is 13-for-34 with 10 RBI during the streak.
• Saturday's 3-for-4 night marked his 12th multi-hit effort of the season.
Singles
• Justin Boyd made his first career start in the outfield Saturday. He started in left and batted in the eighth spot of the lineup. Boyd recorded his first career outfield assist in the sixth. He dove for a fly ball and threw out an ASU runner at first for an inning-ending double play.
• Andy Armstrong's sixth-inning home run marked his first since March 21 versus Washington State.
• Bryant Salgado threw a season-long 2 2/3 innings in relief. He did not allow a hit, issued one walk and struck out three.
• Oregon State's three home runs Saturday marked the fourth time this season the Beavers have hit three or more in the same game.
• Oregon State is 15-7 in day games, including an 8-4 mark away from home.
