Last Game
Ethan Kleinschmit spun six hitless innings in his Oregon State debut to send the seventh-ranked Beavers to a 6-0 win over Indiana in front of a crowd of 3,498 Sunday at Surprise Stadium. Kleinschmit ended his sixth and final inning by inducing a groundout and walked off the mound to a standing ovation from the Oregon State faithful. The transfer from Linn-Benton Community College ended his first Beaver outing by limiting Indiana to two walks with five strikeouts while facing one over the minimum. He earned the win. Kleinschmit was backed by Gavin Turley, who hit his first home run of the season in the third inning and ended the day 2-for-3 with four runs batted in. The long ball was the 34th of his career.
