Turley, Arquette lead Oregon State baseball past Washington in Hillsboro

Gavin Turley and Aiva Arquette drove in two runs each to lead the Oregon State Beavers to a 5-2 victory against Washington on Tuesday night at Hillsboro Ballpark.

Turley doubled down the left field line in the fifth inning to score Arquette and AJ Singer and give the fifth-ranked Beavers the lead for good in front of a sellout crowd of 4,264 at the home park of the Hillsboro Hops.

Two innings later, Arquette blasted a two-run homer to give Oregon State (19-4) its final margin of victory. It was the third homer in four games for the Beavers shortstop, who also doubled, walked and finished 3 for 3.

Trent Caraway scored Oregon State’s first run, coming home from second when Washington starter Tommy Brandenburg tried a pickoff in the second inning and the ball got away.

Five Beavers relievers combined to keep Washington off the scoreboard for the final 5 1/3 innings after the Huskies (11-15) had scored on a sacrifice fly in the third and Matthew Henning’s RBI single in the fourth.

Max Fraser, James DeCremer, Leif Palmer, Joey Mundt and AJ Hutcheson allowed a combined three hits and struck out nine. DeCremer (1-0) notched the win and Hutcheson recorded his second save of the season. OSU starter Kellan Oakes pitched two innings before giving way to Bryce Johnson.

Next up: Oregon State opens a three-game series at Nebraska at 5 p.m. Friday (Big Ten Network).
