Beavers’ Win Streak Snapped At 23
June 23, 2017 | Baseball
OMAHA, Neb. – Oregon State's second 23-game win streak of the season was snapped Friday by the LSU Tigers 3-1 forcing a deciding game between the two teams Saturday at TD Ameritrade Park. Saturday's game time will be either Noon or 5 p.m. PDT and will be decided following Friday's nightcap between TCU and Florida.
The Beavers (56-5) managed just two hits off of LSU (51-18) starting pitcher Alex Lange in their first loss since April 29. OSU's lone run came in the bottom of the third inning as Trevor Lanach earned a bases loaded walk off of Lange for his 14th straight game with an RBI. Tyler Malone and Michael Gretler had the Beavers' hits for the game.
Beaver hurler Jake Thompson suffered his first loss of the season falling to 14-1. Thompson allowed six hits, three earned runs, struck out five and walked one is 6 2/3 innings.
OSU enters Saturday's deciding game aiming for its third appearance in the championship series under the watch of 23-year head coach Pat Casey. The Beavers won the 2006 and '07 titles, and are looking to be the first program to win three championships in the span from 1998-2017.
