Oregon State Defeats UCLA 7-1 in Baseball Showdown

No. 6 Oregon State secured a marquee 7-1 victory over No. 10 UCLA, propelled by a pivotal five-run fourth inning and standout performances from Carson McEntire, who hit a home run and drove in three runs. Pitchers Wyatt Queen, James DeCremer, and Laif Palmer combined to stifle UCLA’s offense, allowing only one run and scattering a handful of hits. The Beavers’ strong start included early RBI singles from Gavin Turley and McEntire, while defensive plays and timely pitching kept the Bruins in check. This win extends Oregon State’s winning streak amid a season rebound and bolsters their postseason resume, especially important with few top-ranked opponents remaining on their schedule. The Beavers, now 26-7, are set to begin a series against Cal State Northridge after their impressive road triumph. Aiva Arquette’s recent recognition as National Player of the Week and the team’s continued offensive momentum highlight Oregon State's current form.
