CORVALLIS, Ore. – Matthew Gretler's solo home run in the seventh inning served as the game-winner in Oregon State's 7-6 win over Vanderbilt Monday afternoon at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field.
Gretler's blast on a 2-2 pitch from Vanderbilt reliever Grayson Moore ended a seesaw battle and sends the Beavers to their eighth all-time NCAA Super Regional appearance. It was his fifth homer of the year and third of the game for the Beavers (47-16 overall), who also saw Justin Boyd and Jacob Melton go deep.
Cooper Hjerpe made his first relief appearance of the season, working two scoreless innings to earn the save.
