Gameday #10 saw some excellent pitching performances from the likes of Long Beach State’s Steve Trachsel, Oregon State’s Ken Forsch, USC’s Tom Seaver and Cal State Fullerton’s Ricky Romero (plus Pepperdine’s Dan Haren in a loss). USC kept its two-game lead (with eight to play) over OSU as both teams were victorious. The fifth game was a slugfest with Arizona State beating UCLA.

The Beavers’ Ken Forsch tossed a three-hit shutout to keep the Beavers two games back of USC in the standings. The Waves’ Dan Haren was almost equally as good, and all three runs he allowed were unearned. With one out and two runners on, a dropped fly ball scored the first OSU run. The second run scored on Steve Lyons’ RBI groundout (which would have been the third out). Jacoby Ellsbury followed with an RBI single.

The Bruins trailed 5-2 heading to the bottom of the seventh, but plated four runs on six hits, including RBI doubles from Todd Zeile and Shane Mack, to go up 6-5. But the Sun Devils regained the lead with three in the top of the ninth, with Alvin Davis tying the game with an RBI double, and Willie Bloomquist providing a two-run double for the winning margin. Bloomquist had earlier hit a two-run homer. UCLA, which lost its fourth straight, hit into a game-ending double play.
