CORVALLIS -- No. 5 Oregon State used a big eighth inning to nab a 4-2 win over No. 19 Oregon before 3,307 Saturday at Goss Stadium.

Beavers right-hander Andrew Moore and Ducks right-hander Jeff Gold dueled much of the night, allowing just eight hits over a combined 15 innings pitched. After replacing Gold to start the bottom of the eighth with a one-run lead, left-handed reliever Garrett Cleavinger loaded the bases with no outs. Right fielder Dylan Davis and third baseman Caleb Hamilton each hit two-RBI doubles into center field before Cleavinger escaped the inning.

The Beavers have secured a Civil War series win, taking the first two contests of the three-game tilt. OSU (30-8, 13-4 Pac-12), which is now percentage points ahead of Washington for first place in the conference standings, hosts Oregon (31-12, 10-7) Sunday at 1 p.m.

Check back soon for full game recaps from Ducks' and Beavers' perspectives.
