Oregon State Baseball is finally back in Corvallis after spending a couple weeks in Arizona, and the Beavers started off their home schedule with a solid 7-2 victory over the UC Irvine Anteaters. Oregon State stays undefeated so far this season, with an 8-0 record.
Cooper Hjerpe got the start for the Beavers, and got into trouble right away. Irvine’s Woody Hadeen started the game with a single, and was followed by a double from Anteater Nathan Church. With two runners in scoring position, Hjerpe struck out the next batter, before a ground out from Ben Fitzgerald scored the first run of the game to give the Anteaters a 1-0 lead.
