Oregon State 4, Pepperdine 3: After the Waves’ Chase D’Arnaud hit a two-run homer in the second, the Beavers came back with a four-run third inning, and that was all they would need. Nick Madrigal had an RBI single, Jacoby Ellsbury knocked a two-RBI triple and Michael Conforto added an RBI double. Pepperdine had the bases loaded with one out in the bottom of the ninth but could only bring one run home.
