CORVALLIS, Ore. – Canon Reeder hit his fifth home run of the season and Oregon State’s pitching staff held Long Beach State to a run and two hits as the No. 7 Beavers won the opener, 2-1, Thursday night at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field.

Reeder provided Oregon State’s (39-12-1) only runs of the night thanks to his two-run home run in the second. AJ Singer singled to open the second, then scored when Reeder drove a 1-0 pitch from LBSU starter Jake Fields over the fence in left.

Gavin Turley added a single in the eighth as the Beavers tallied three hits in the opener, which were accompanied by five walks from three Long Beach State (22-29) pitchers.

Eric Segura started for Oregon State and held the Dirtbags hitless until the sixth. He gave up just the one hit, which drove in a run in the sixth. He exited in favor of relief Kellan Oakes and earned the win, pushing him to an 8-1 mark on the year.

Segura struck out six.

Oakes, meanwhile, went 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief and was backed up by Wyatt Queen, who pitched the final two innings, facing the minimum for his second save of the season.
