Last Game
Garret Forrester hit a three-run home run in the first and Jacob Melton drove in one on a two-out double in the ninth but the Beavers were edged by Auburn, 7-5, Saturday in the first game of the Corvallis Super Regional. Travis Bazzana had two hits for the Beavers, who recorded seven as a team. OSU’s bullpen – Brock Townsend, Mitchell Verburg, DJ Carpenter and AJ Lattery – combined to limit the Tigers to six hits and two runs with six strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings. With the home run, Forrester now has 60 RBI on the year and nine long balls. Melton, meanwhile, has 82 RBI in 2022.
Oregon State Notes
• Oregon State is 28-11 in NCAA elimination games dating back to the start of the super regional era in 1999.
• The Beavers are the visiting team in Sunday’s game.
• Jacob Melton set the OSU single-season record with 169 total bases. He doubled home a run in the ninth Saturday that pushed him past Trevor Larnach (2018). The RBI was the 82nd of the year for Melton, who now trails single-season leader Adley Rutschman (2018) by just one.
• The hit was also the 91st of the year for Melton, equaling Steven Kwan (2018) and Wade Meckler (2022) for third-most at Oregon State.
• Oregon State scored its four first-inning runs on 51 pitches. The Beavers tallied a home run, two doubles and three walks. OSU chased Auburn starter Trace Bright after 47 pitches and nine batters faced.
• The Beavers have now scored 76 first-inning runs this season, while opponents have scored 30.
• The 4,112 in attendance marked the third-largest crowd in Goss Stadium history. It trails just two attendance figures from this season, 4,128 versus UCLA (May 20) and 4,275 versus UCLA (May 21).
• Oregon State’s pitching staff set the program’s single-season record for strikeouts for a second consecutive year. The Beavers have 614, eclipsing the 2021 team’s 611.
• Garret Forrester’s home run gave him 60 runs batted in on the year. That’s just one shy of tying Mike Lissman (2007) and Dylan Davis (2013) for ninth-most in a single-season at OSU.
• Justin Boyd extended his hit streak to 11 games with a ninth-inning single. He is 23-for-51 (.451) during the streak. He is now two games shy of his season-best 13-game hit streak.
