The Bulldogs led 3-2 but a two-out rally from the Beavers flipped the lead to OSU
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Gonzaga took a 3-0 lead early over No. 3 Oregon State, but the pesky Beavers responded with eight unanswered runs to win 8-3 and earn the two-game sweep on Tuesday at Goss Stadium.
Â
Gonzaga (18-19) plated two runs in the first inning off Oregon State (32-7) starter Max Fraser (ND) as three straight hits made it 2-0. Ty Yukumoto, who singled to lead off the game, brought home the Bulldogs' third run with a two-out RBI single in the fourth.
Â
The Beavers responded with two in the next half-inning off Karsten Sweum (ND), who completed five innings in his first collegiate start while allowing just two runs on four hits and striking out four.
Â
In the home half of the sixth, Michael Cunneely (L, 1-2) nearly escaped a bases-loaded jam when a two-out pop fly landed in a pocket of the GU outfield for a single, allowing two runners to score to give OSU a 3-2 lead. Gavin Turley took advantage of the Gonzaga mishap, clubbing his 14th home run of the season to blow the game open 7-3.
Â
An eighth run crossed the plate for Oregon State in the seventh inning and the Beaver bullpen continued to shut down the Zag offense, combining for 5.1 innings of one-hit, zero-run baseball while striking out four. Gonzaga put one runner in scoring position after the fifth inning.
Â
After a 0-for-5 night on Monday, Mikey Bell was 2-for-3 with a double and a walk to lead GU on Tuesday, while Yukumoto added a 2-for-4, RBI, R performance.
