Beavers’ Four Homers Pave The Way To 7-5 Win
March 13, 2026 | Baseball
SAN DIEGO, Calif. – Four different Beavers hit home runs – setting a season-high – to pace 18th-ranked Oregon State to a 7-5 series-opening win over San Diego Friday night at Fowler Park and Cunningham Field.
The win, Oregon State's seventh in-a-row, was also the Beavers' 10th consecutive against the Toreros dating back to 2016. OSU (12-4 overall) is 15-10 all-time against San Diego.
Easton Talt and Josh Proctor hit back-to-back home runs in the first. Talt, the game's third batter, hit his first of the year to make it a 2-0 OSU lead. Proctor made it 3-0 with a shot to left, his third long ball of the season.
Paul Vazquez followed those long balls up with a fifth-inning solo shot. His second home run of the season hit off the batter's eye in center field.
Jacob Krieg belted the 27th of his career in the seventh, sending the first pitch he saw over the fence in left center. His 27 tie him for ninth all-time at Oregon State.
San Diego (7-10), down 7-2 entering the eighth, pulled to within two thanks to a groundout by Gage Mestas and single by Jayton Greer. Noah Scott, who worked one inning, was able to get out of the frame with no more damage, inducing a fly ball to end the frame. That led to Albert Roblez throwing in the ninth, picking up his sixth save of the season.
Dax Whitney started for the Beavers and the right-hander improved to 3-0 on the year after five innings of work. He struck out nine – and has 54 on the year – while scattering three hits, two walks and an unearned run.
San Diego's Diego Gutierrez started and allowed five hits and four runs in five innings of work. He took the loss to drop to 1-2 on the year.
Jacob Galloway extended his hit streak to 10 games with a 2-for-5 night. Talt, Vazquez and AJ Singer all had two hits as well.
The teams continue the three-game series Friday at Fowler Park and Cunningham Field. First pitch is scheduled for 5 p.m. PT and it will air live on ESPN+ and the Beaver Sports Network.
