A pair of freshmen claimed the top two spots on the men’s long jump podium with NC State’s Tyson Adams claiming the crown. The Wolfpack newcomer posted a mark of 7.69 meters (25-2.75) to sneak past Cal’s Trevor Rogers (7.66m/25-1.75). Duke’s Maxwell Forte was the bronze medalist with a 7.52-meter (24-8.25) mark.

The Dirtbags Late Rally Falls Short At No. 7 Oregon State 12-8
CORVALLIS, Ore—After leading 8-0 in the seventh inning, No. 7 Oregon State had to turn back a furious Long Beach State rally to defeat the Dirtbags 12-8 Friday night at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field. The Beavers took a 1-0 lead with two outs in the bottom of the second, with Trent Caraway singled to left […]

The Beavers took a 1-0 lead with two outs in the bottom of the second, with Trent Caraway singled to left center to score Canon Reeder. Easton Tait doubled down the right field line. Kyle Ashworth threw to Trotter Enright. His relay throw went home to Conner Stewart. Caraway appeared to have slid past the plate where Stewart tagged him out. Oregon State challenged the call. The video review upheld the call ending the inning.
Gavin Turley singled with one out in the bottom of the third. Wilson Weber reached on an error, allowing Turley to advance to third. Kellan Montgomery walked AJ Singer to load the bases. Cannon Reeder hit a grand slam over the left-center field fence to make it 5-0.
Tyce Peterson and Dallas Macias recorded back-to-back singles up the middle to put runners on the corners for the Beavers. Caraway hit a three-run home run to create an 8-1 score. With two outs, the Beavers loaded the bases again, resulting in Tyler Gebb relieving Kellan Montgomery. Gebb got the final out on one pitch.
Oregon State starter Dax Whitney walked Nathan Cadena and Alex Champagne to begin the LBSU fourth. Armando Briseno grounded into a 5-4-3 double play as Cadena went to third. Whitney walked Matt Toomey before striking out Connor Charpiot for the final out.
Toomey led off the top of the seventh with a single off the third OSU pitcher of the game, Tanner Douglas. Charpiot grounded out to Douglas, allowing Toomey to reach second. Trotter Enright singled to right field to plate Toomey. Conner Stewart was hit by the first pitch he saw from Douglas. As Jake Evans came to bat, the Beavers called in AJ Hutcheson, who struck out Evans on three pitches. Ashworth walked to load the bases. Cadena’s flair into left centerfield scored Enright and Stewart.
Alex Champagne walked on four pitches to load the bases. Hutcheson’s first pitch hit Briseno to score Ashworth. Toomey batted for a second time, and the bases remaining were loaded. Toomey’s opposite-field single through the left side scored Champagne. Zach Kmatz relieved Hutcheson, facing Charpiot. Kmatz got Charpiot to fly out to right to end the inning.
Gebb walked Bryce Hubbard with one out in the bottom of the eighth. Singer singled through the left side. Reeder hit his second home run of the game, a three-run blast, that made it 11-5. Peterson’s solo home run increased the lead to seven.
Nelson Keljo began the ninth on the bump for the Beavers. With one out, he walked Champagne before Cadeno hit his sixth home run, cutting the advantage to 12-7. Toomey reached on an infield single to first. Charpiot’s fly ball to left centerfield was lost in the lights by the Oregon State outfield, dropping for a single. Enright grounded out to first, advancing both runners up a base. Stewart singled through the left side to score Toomey. Evans struck out to end the game.
Toomey went 3-for-4, with two runs scored, to pace the Dirtbags. Briseno was 2-for-4 with three RBI. Reeder was 3-for-4 with seven RBI and three runs scored. Caraway had three hits (3-for-4) and four RBI.
With UC Santa Barbara’s victory over Cal State Bakersfield Friday night, the Dirtbags have been eliminated from Big West Championships contention. Long Beach State (22-30) and Oregon State (40-12-1) complete the regular season Saturday beginning at 12:35 p.m. The streaming link to Portland’s CW/ CW/KOIN.com and the live stats are on LongBeachState.com.
