Frankie Hammoude advanced both runners into scoring position that allowed Kayleen Shafer to hit a two-RBI single into left field to give the Beavers a 2-0 lead after one.
Camryn Ybarra reached first base on an error to start the second inning with a runner. Ashton Phillips singled through the left side and advanced Ybarra to second and into scoring position for Lovie Lopez to hit a double over the left fielder's head giving OSU a 3-0 lead.
Hammoude reached first again in the third inning off an error. Karla Calderon came in to pinch run and advanced to second when Shafer hit a single into center field. Jessica Garcia advanced both runners into scoring position to allow Ybarra to fire one right back at the pitcher that scored Calderon. Rader would also reach on a fielder's choice that scored Shafer. The Beavers added two more runs to extend the lead to 7-0 following the top of the third inning.
Shafer led the offense this game going 3-for-4 with two RBIs and one run.
Oregon State held WCU scoreless behind the charge of senior pitcher Meehra Nelson's six strike outs. Nelson improved to 5-1 on the season.
GAME TWO vs NEW MEXICO
Lopez led off for the second game of the day and hit a single right back at the pitcher for a lead-off single. Nunes stepped up to the plate two batters later and hit a two-run home run to give the Beavers the early 2-0 lead heading to the bottom of the first inning.
New Mexico cut the lead in half in the bottom of the first before Mariah Mazon forced the Lobos to leave two on by striking out back-to-back batters.
