Beavs get on board

By Lindsay Schnell - April 05, 2007

It worked! My plea for someone to score was answered. Hopkins got ahold of Ryan Cooks' pitch and hit one past the shortstop, knocking in a run. Then he (barely) stole second.

And Wallace hits a shot down the third baseline! (This is so much more fun to type as it's happening.) Hopkins crossed the plate.

And in the time it took me to type that, Wallace also scored on an error. What an exciting few minutes for all the Beaver fans here. Suddenly, OSU is up 3-0. They're finally getting ahold of the ball, stealing (USC overthrowing a few times is also helping) and getting to home. It's a good thing Wallce reached second on a balk because he's not exactly, uh, fast.

Canham's up now. 1-1 count ... really enjoys hitting with a full count. Talk about thriving under pressure.
