Baseball’s Rally Falls Just Short In Finale
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Troy Claunch hit his second home run of the season and Oregon State scored two more runs in the ninth but the Beavers' rally fell just short in a 5-3 loss to USC Sunday afternoon at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field.
Claunch drove in his second run of the game to make it a three-run game, and scored when Jake Dukart doubled to right center, making it a 5-3 game. Dukart, though, was stranded at second to end the game.
The Beavers still took the series after defeating USC, 5-4, Friday and 9-7 on Saturday. OSU is now 31-15 overall on the year and 13-8 in Pac-12 Conference play. The Trojans, meanwhile, are 20-21 overall and 8-13 in Pac-12 action.
