Oregon State Defeats New Mexico State 5-4 In Extra Innings
BRIAN HAYES / STATESMAN JOURNAL via Imagn Content Services, LLCThe New Mexico State Aggies pushed the Beavers to the brink in their first game of the Corvallis Regional, but Oregon State managed to put down the upset bid in extra innings. The Beavers pulled off a 5-4 win, despite some sloppy play that almost erased an amazing start from OSU ace Cooper Hjerpe.
Hjerpe set the tone for the game by striking out the NMSU side in the top of the first. In the bottom of the inning, Oregon State grabbed the first run of the game when a grounder from Jacob Melton scored Wade Meckler.
