STANFORD, Calif. -- Three errors led to three Oregon State unearned runs, as the Stanford baseball team stumbled in a 7-5 loss Saturday evening. The Beavers scored five of their seven runs with two outs to beat the Cardinal for the 10th straight time.

Stanford (22-30, 7-19 Pac-12) faced an early deficit for the second straight night when OSU took a 5-1 lead before the end of the fifth. The Cardinal would rally to get the tying run to the plate after scoring three runs in the eighth but failed to ever get back to even.

Drew Jackson followed a four hit night yesterday with two RBI, one on a third inning triple and another on a sac fly in the eighth, and Matt Winaker drove in two on an eighth-inning double to lead the offense. Stanford had just four hits to Oregon State’s 10.  

Oregon State (35-14-1, 16-9-1 Pac-12) and freshman KJ Harrison, who went 3 for 4 with three RBI, used one run in the first, two in the third and two in the fifth to take the commanding lead. Harrison had a two-out RBI single in the first and later provided a two-out bases-loaded two-RBI single to right field in the eighth that padded OSU’s advantage.

Elliott Cary also drove in three for Oregon State, as the Beavers went 6 for 16 with two outs but just 3 for 16 with runners in scoring position.

Marc Brakeman took the loss to drop to 1-4 despite a decent outing. Only two earned runs crossed home against the junior MLB Draft prospect through 6.0 innings pitched but his own fielding error helped OSU score its two third-inning runs and an E6 added to the unearned run tally.

Gabe Cramer worked the final three innings, allowing two runs on two hits. He limited the damage in the ninth by striking out a pair of Beavers with the bases loaded.

Drew Rasmussen picked up his sixth win for OSU by allowing two runs in 6.0 innings and Mitch Hickey worked a perfect ninth for his 10th save.

Stanford and Oregon State finish the series tomorrow at 1 p.m. PT. The Cardinal’s four seniors will be honored in a pregame ceremony preceding the team’s final home game of 2015.
