SALT LAKE CITY – Trevor Larnach hit his second grand slam of the season and Oregon State had the tying run at third in the ninth but the Beavers dropped the series opener at Utah, 8-7, Thursday night at Smith's Ballpark.
The Beavers put runners on second and third with one down in the ninth, down two. Reliever Jacob Rebar struck out Larnach on a 13-pitch at bat before Grenier scored on a wild pitch. Rebar, however, got pinch hitter Preston Jones to fly out to right to end the game.
