STANFORD, Calif. – Garret Forrester hit his third home run of the season but Oregon State was unable to hold on to a late lead in a 5-4 loss to Stanford Sunday afternoon at Sunken Diamond.

Forrester hit a two-run home run in the fourth, then watched as OSU (12-8 overall, 1-5 Pac-12 Conference) scored two more in the fifth on a Tanner Smith groundout and wild pitch.

The Cardinal (13-5, 4-2), however, won thanks to a four-run seventh. Eddie Park drove in Stanford's second run on a bases-loaded single and Carter Graham put the Cardinal ahead for good with a bases-clearing double.

Ben Ferrer took the loss after allowing two hits and a run in an inning of relief. He is 0-1 on the year.

Stanford's Drew Dodd earned the win to improve to 2-1. The lefty pitched three innings in relief of starter Joey Dixon and did not allow a baserunner. Brandt Pancer retired the side in the ninth for his first save of the season.

Jaren Hunter started for the Beavers and scattered four hits and a run in 4 1/3 innings. He did not figure in the decision. He was backed by Ferrer, Aiden Jimenez, AJ Hutcheson and Ryan Brown.

Forrester had two of Oregon State's three hits to lead the Beavers.
