CORVALLIS, Ore. – Justin Boyd drew four straight balls with the bases loaded to send Oregon State to a 5-4 win over New Mexico State in 10 innings Friday night at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field.

The Beavers drew four walks in the inning, led by Travis Bazzana. Jake Dukart was also intentionally walked and Jabin Trosky, in a pinch hit at bat, also drew four straight balls to set up the game winner for Boyd, who took his second walk of the night.

Ryan Brown, who worked 1 2/3 scoreless innings, earned the win, improving to 5-1 on the year. He struck out three as he, starter Cooper Hjerpe and Ben Ferrer combined for 14 strikeouts.

Garret Forrester drove in a pair of runs – one in fifth and one in the seventh – on a 3-for-5 night. Matthew Gretler also had two hits for OSU (45-15), which tallied 10 overall.

Alex Bustamante took the loss for New Mexico State (24-33) after allowing one run and one hit in 2 1/3 innings. He walked four.
