Turley’s Grand Slam Highlights Beavers’ Win Over Tulane
May 31, 2024 | Baseball
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Gavin Turley hit his fifth grand slam of the season and Micah McDowell went 4-for-5 with two runs batted in to pace Oregon State to a 10-4 win over Tulane in front of a Goss Stadium at Coleman Field record crowd of 4,278 Friday night at the Corvallis Regional.
Turley's grand slam came in the fifth and erased a 3-2 deficit to the Green Wave, who opened the game with three runs in the second. Mason Guerra trimmed Tulane's lead to 3-2 with a two-run double in the bottom half of the inning.
Tanner Smith walked, and Travis Bazzana and McDowell singled to load the bases with no outs for Turley, who hit the first pitch he saw from Tulane starter Chandler Welch over the fence in left field.
The Beavers (43-14 overall) scored in each of their last three turns at bat. McDowell singled in a pair in the sixth for a four-run advantage, while Trent Caraway drove in a run on a single in the seventh.
Bazzana capped the Beavers' day at the plate with a solo home run in the eighth, his 27th ling ball of the season.
Aiden May improved to a perfect 7-0 on the year after going 5 2/3 innings in a start. He struck out nine and scattered five hits and four runs. Nelson Keljo came on in relief in the sixth and was dominant, striking out four in 2 2/3 scoreless innings. He allowed just one hit.
McDowell's four hits paced the Beavers, who recorded 13 hits as a team. Welch took the loss, dropping to 7-4 on the year. He allowed seven hits and six runs in four innings.
Next Up
Oregon State takes on second-seeded UC Irvine Saturday night at 7:06 p.m. PT. The game will air live on ESPN2.
