TUCSON, Ariz. – Travis Bazzana homered and drove in three runs but Oregon State was unable to hold on to a four-run lead in a 10-5 loss to Arizona Sunday afternoon at Hi Corbett Field.

The Wildcats' comeback was driven by a pair of home runs from Mac Bingham and Chris Davis. Bingham made OSU's (40-11 overall, 19-8 Pac-12 Conference) lead just one with a three-run home run in the fifth. Davis put Arizona up for good with a two-run home run in the sixth.

The Beavers scored first, putting two on the board in the first inning. Jacob Melton hit a sacrifice fly for his Pac-12 leading 66^th RBI of the season, then scored when Gavin Logan singled down the left field line.

Bazzana made it 4-0 with his fourth home run of the season in the second, and then 5-1 on an RBI single in the fourth.

Jake Dukart picked up a season-high three hits to lead the Beavers. He doubled in the sixth and singled in the fourth and eighth innings.

DJ Carpenter, who gave up five runs, took the loss, dropping to 2-3 on the year. Chris Barraza earned the win for Arizona (35-18, 16-11), improving to 2-0. He held OSU to a hit in a scoreless sixth inning.
