Baseball Snaps Losing Streak with Win over San Jose State
March 1, 1999
SAN JOSE, Calif. - It was much of the same story Monday afternoon at Municipal Stadium as the Spartans dropped another game to a Pac-10 team, this time to Oregon State, 3-2.
Oregon State's Troy Shader hit a solo homer in the third inning and the Beavers (8-9) added two runs in the fourth en route to the win to snap a five-game losing streak.
San Jose State (7-9-1) out-hit OSU, 9-5, but stranded 11 base runners on base. With the bases loaded and one out in the third inning, Dan Winterberg popped up to short and the Beavers caught Junior Ruiz off guard and converted a double play to end inning.
The Ducks take on Gonzaga University next, playing a pair of games over the weekend at home. Game time is 2:00 p.m. Pacific on Saturday, Mar. 6th. Sunday's game is scheduled to start at 1:00 p.m.
