Arizona baseball swept at Oregon State after bullpen squanders multiple late leads

Entering Sunday, no opponent had scored more than six runs against Oregon State at Goss Stadium. Arizona eclipsed that mark after six innings, building a 7-2 lead.

Then the Wildcat bullpen took over, and promptly fell apart like it has so many times this season.

Oregon State scored five runs in the bottom of the eighth to take a 1-run lead, then after falling behind by two in the top of the ninth walked Arizona off for the second time in three games for an 11-10 victory. Both go-ahead hits for the Beavers were by Garrett Forrester, who was 5 for 6 with five RBI, and each came after the previous batter was intentionally walked to load the bases with two out.
