Turley’s Slam Paces Beavers In 11-10 Loss To Nevada
April 17, 2024 | Baseball
Â
Turley's grand slam came during a seven-run fourth inning for the Beavers, who entered the frame down 4-1. Tanner Smith drew a bases-loaded walk and Dallas Macias was hit by a pitch to score two runs and set the table for Turley's second grand slam in his last three games.
Â
A wild pitch and run-scoring triple by Mason Guerra in the sixth pushed the Beavers' lead to 10-4. Nevada (15-18 overall), however, pushed two runs across the plate in the sixth and tied the game in the eighth.
Â
JR Freethy then hit a solo home run in the ninth off OSU reliever Bridger Holmes to send the Wolf Pack to the walkoff win.
Â
Turley, Guerra and Elijah Hainline all had two hits for the Beavers, who dropped to 30-6 on the year. Hainline also had two RBI, which included a first-inning single.
Â
Holmes took the loss after allowing his first earned run of the season. He is 2-1 on the year.
Â
Matthew Canizares picked up the win for Nevada after keeping the Beavers scoreless in the ninth. He is 1-0.
