A crowd of 2,733 saw the Rainbow Warriors rebound after losing the first two of this four-game series.
Konnor Palmeira smacked a solo home run, his first of the season, and Matthew Miura hit a two-run double in the fourth inning.
But it was dominant pitching that helped the ’Bows improve to 29-16. The Beavers fell to 34-12. First pitch for Monday’s series finale is 6:35 p.m.
Boosted by this week’s schedule of strength and conditioning training, as well as two pre-game meals, Walls “was at ease,” according to pitching coach Keith Zuniga.
