Drew Rasmussen left the game 4th inning with a back injury and Cal capitalized in game 1.
Oregon State got the game going with a bang thanks to the bat of KJ Harrison who boomed a shot over the left field wall for a solo home run to open the scoring. It was most of the offense for OSU in the early going as Cal starter Daulton Jefferies was engaged and threw a mostly blemish free game.
Drew Rasmussen started amid back concerns and started off just a bit shaky. He allowed a walk and made in an error in the first two Cal at bats of the game.
