CORVALLIS, Ore. – Dax Whitney and Wyatt Queen combined for 11 strikeouts but a pair of groundouts by Cameron Kim were the difference in Oregon State's 2-1 loss to Cal State Fullerton Friday night at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field.
Kim grounded out to second in the first and reached on a fielder's choice in the third, barely beating the throw on an attempted double play. That was enough for Fullerton (19-17) Mikiah Negrete, who went the distance, with his lone blemish a fourth-inning sacrifice fly by AJ Singer.
Whitney suffered his first loss of the season, dropping to 5-1 after allowing six hits and two runs in seven innings, equaling a career-long outing. He struck out seven to give the right-hander 97 on the season.
Queen came on and picked up a pair of scoreless frames, allowing a single in both the eighth and ninth innings. He also struck out a pair in both frames, and has 43 in 27 1/3 innings on the year, spanning 13 relief outings.
Negrete struck out six, walked three and allowed three Oregon State (28-8) hits, earning the win to improve to 7-2 on the year.
The teams continue the three-game series Saturday at Goss Stadium. First pitch is slated for 3:05 p.m. PT. The game will air live on the Beaver Sports Network, KOIN and Pac-12 Insider.
