• Travis Bazzana hit a leadoff home run for the fifth time in the last six games on Friday.
• Travis Bazzana became the third Beaver this century to hit 15 or more home runs in a single season. He joined Trevor Larnach, who hit 15 in 2018, and Jacob Melton, who went deep 17 times in 2022.
• Bazzana now has 367 career total bases, 16 shy of breaking the OSU record.
• Bazzana walked three times to give him 132 for his career.
