Oregon State Takes Game One Over No. 10 Arizona State
May 07, 2021 | Softball
CORVALLIS, Ore. - The Oregon State softball team opened its Dam Worth It series with a shutout win, 1-0, over visiting No. 10 Arizona State, Friday.
Â
"It was a great team win," said head coach Laura Berg. "Mariah [Mazon] did a great job at keeping a lineup like theirs quiet. We need to clean up the defense and do a better job at hitting but overall it was a great victory."
Â
Arizona State hit the first single straight to junior pitcher Mariah Mazon. The Beavers were able to hold her to first in the opening inning.
Â
Oregon State answered with a run as a result of their first time in the dugout. After drawing a walk to get on base, freshman Madison Simon scored off a connection from sophomore Frankie Hammoude.
Â
Mazon notched her first strikeout in the second and the OSU defense left one Sun Devil on base to hold the lead.
Â
Freshmen Grace Messmer and Xiao Gin hit singles in the second inning but ASU was able to leave the two stranded to keep the Beaver lead to one.
Â
Both teams left runners on base in the third after one single each.Â
Â
The fourth inning saw three straight outs from the OSU defense and Mazon compiled three-straight strikeouts to complete the top of the fifth inning.
Â
Continuing her pitching power, Mazon collected three more strikeouts in the top of the sixth.
Â
Freshman Charity Sevaaetasi grabbed the fourth Beaver hit in the bottom of the sixth, followed by two batters reaching from a fielder's choice but Arizona State totaled three outs to the inning before OSU could advance their lead.
Â
With runners on second and third, Oregon State notched its final out of the game to win the first contest of their series against Arizona State.
Â
The Beavers will return with a second game against the Sun Devils tomorrow, Saturday (May 8), at 1 p.m.
