Burgmann, Kahle Once Again Wow, But UW Falls, 4-3, In 11 Innings
March 31, 2019 | Baseball
SEATTLE – George Mendazona hit a lead-off home run in the 11th inning to lead the visiting, seventh-ranked Oregon State Beavers to ta 4-3 win over Washington, Sunday at Husky Ballpark. The Beavers (19-5-1, 6-3 Pac-12) earned a sweep of the three-games series and the Huskies (14-9, 5-4) have now dropped four-straight games.
The Huskies looked poised to walk-off the Beavers an inning earlier when they loaded the bases with no outs, but Jake Mullholland (1-0) was able to get a fielder's choice at home, followed by a strikeout and fielder's choice to force the game into the 11th.
Mullholland allowed the tying run to reach in the bottom half of the 11th, but the lefty got Ramon Bramasco to roll into a 6-4-3 double play to end the game.
The end result spoiled another fabulous outing on the hill by Josh Burgmann and a phenomenal game by Nick Kahle. Burgmann struck out a career high 13 batters – which is also the most by a Pac-12 pitcher in 2019 – and Kahle was 4 for 5 with a home run, double and all three runs batted in by the Huskies.
More than three hours before the ending, the Huskies wasted little time getting ahead of the Beavers, taking a 1-0 lead in the first inning on a Kahle run-scoring single. Kahle's team-leading 27th RBI gave the Huskies their first lead of the three-game series.
UW's first lead didn't last long, though, as Oregon State tied the score back up, 1-1, in the second. Ryan Ober, who reached via a one-out double, scored with two outs when Burgmann threw a wild pitch that Kahle couldn't corral.
Burgmann cruised through four innings, recording seven-straight outs via the strikeout at one point, but he ran into some trouble in the fifth. He gave up a hit and walk before shortstop Beau Philip delivered a two-out triple into the right field corner that gave OSU a 3-1 advantage.
The junior from Nanaimo, B.C., would strike out the side in the sixth, but with 118 pitches under his belt his day was done. The redshirt-sophomore left trailing 3-1 after six innings of work. He allowed three hits and walked four to go along with his 13 strikeouts.
The game remained 3-1 in OSU's advantage until the bottom of the eighth when Kahle stepped up and hit a two-run home run the opposite way over the right-field fence. After a walk to Braiden Ward, Kahle took an elevated 3-2 pitch from Dylan Pearce and rode it out for his fourth homer of the season to tie the game, 3-3.
It marked the second Sunday in a row in which he accounted for the all the Huskies' runs batted in.
Stevie Emanuels (2-3) threw a career high five innings in relief. He allowed three hits – including the 11th inning homer – and struck out two.
Washington outhit Oregon State, 8-6, with Kahle accounting for half of the team's hits. For the series, Kahle was 5 for 12 (.417) at the plate with five RBI. He also threw out four Beavers' runners trying to steal second over the weekend.
