Oregon State: Wallace put's one over the Wall

By Casey Grogan - March 17, 2007

After a Mike Lissman walk Canham stepped into the box and that is when the crowd let Dufloth have it. In the process of giving Canham a 1 ball 2 strike count, Dufloth threw over to first at least six times. Despite its necessity to the game of baseball pick off throws really seem to upset home crowds. Dufloth gave George a free pass on four straight pitches. George is looking to extend his hitting streak to seven games during this afternoon’s ball game.

The Beavers are trying to chase Dufloth out of this game quickly. After loading the bases with the walk of George, Ogata knocked a two RBI base hit followed by an RBI single by Lennerton. This brought the Dons head coach out to the mound. With two on John Wallace got that homerun he just missed yesterday, the three run bomb was the first of his career. After the homerun the Dons finally sent a pitcher and catcher to the bullpen. Joey Wong followed the homer with a base hit and a stolen base. The Beavers batted around the lineup and leadoff batter Darwin Barney ripped a RBI triple off the wall. On his fortieth pitch of the first inning, Dufloth got Wong to pop out for the third out of a long inning.

OSU 7 USF 1 after one complete, homerun total for the weekend is up to five.
