RENO, Nev. – Jacob Krieg hit his seventh home run of the season and set a career-high with six runs batted in as No. 5 Oregon State defeated Nevada, 12-5, Tuesday night at Peccole Park.

Krieg hit a two-run home run in the second inning and cleared the bases with a double in the sixth to put the Beavers up 8-4. He pushed the Beavers ahead 11-4 in the seventh on a groundout to short.

Krieg ended the day with a ninth-inning double to finish 3-for-5. The three hits tied a career-high, equaled most recently on April 2 versus Gonzaga.
