Last Game
Justin Boyd's run-scoring single in the 11th inning sent No. 3 Oregon State to a 3-2 win over Stanford Saturday afternoon at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field. Boyd singled past second baseman Austin Kretzschmar, enabling Wade Meckler to come home from second. Meckler, who finished with three hits, doubled with two down, sliding in just ahead of the tag after a throw from center fielder Brock Jones. Jacob Kmatz, Ben Ferrer and Ryan Brown combined to limit Stanford to nine hits and two runs in 11 innings. The trio struck out 14. Brown picked up the win after two scoreless, improving to 3-0.
