Cooper Hjerpe tossed six scoreless innings and Garret Forrester went 3-for-3 as No, 5 Oregon State opened its three-game series versus USC with a 9-1 win over the Trojans Friday night at Dedeaux Field. Hjerpe, making eighth start of the season, struck out nine and scattered four hits in his fourth quality start. The Capay, Calif., native struck out at least one batter in every full inning of work. He picked up the win. Forrester singled in the first, fourth and seventh innings, scoring a run after his first hit of the day. He also walked twice to move to 35 on the year, extending his Pac-12 lead. The Beavers got to USC starter Isaac Esqueda early, scoring a run in the first before putting three more on the board in the second.
