CORVALLIS, Ore. – Kyler McMahan drove in five runs and four pitchers combined for a three-hit shutout in No. 21 Oregon State's 9-0 win over Santa Clara baseball on Wednesday night.

The Beavers (14-5) scored eight of its runs between the third and fifth innings to split the two-game series after Santa Clara (7-13) took the series opener 10-9 on Tuesday.

Holden Bernhardt started on the mound for the Broncos tossing two scoreless innings before giving way to Jared Feikes to start the third.  Feikes hit Matthew Gretler and gave up a single to Cole Hamilton before McMahan drove both home on a double down the left field line to get the Beavers on the board, 2-0.

Oregon State pushed the lead to 5-0 on McMahan's three-run home run in the fourth off Feikes (0-2) who took the loss.

Meanwhile the Broncos were held hitless through the first six innings before Coleman Brigman broke through with a single in the sixth off the third Beaver pitcher of the game, Brock Townsend.  Jack Washburn (3-0) who started on the bump fanning seven batters over three innings was credited with the win.  Ian Lawson, Towsend and Nathan Burns each threw two innings.
