Beavs extend streak to 7 — Trevor Larnach belted his fourth home run of the season, Bryce Fehmel allowed two runs over 62⁄3 innings, and No. 2 Oregon State beat Nebraska 9-3 Saturday in Surprise, Arizona. The second win of the season over the Cornhuskers pushed the Beavers to a 7-0 start, the best at OSU since the 2013 team won its first 15 games. Steven Kwan, Kyle Nobach, Michael Gretler and Jack Anderson had two hits apiece for the Beavers in support of Fehmel, who earned the victory with relief help from Brandon Eisert and Dylan Pearce to improve to 2-0. Oregon State wraps up its season-opening Arizona trip Sunday against Ohio State.

Ducks edge Lions — Gabe Matthews’ ninth-inning double brought home the go-ahead run in Oregon’s 2-1 at Loyola Marymount on Saturday night. The Ducks had been held in check by Lions starting pitcher Nick Frasso for much of the night. The freshman right-hander held Oregon to a hit and three walks in seven scoreless innings. He struck out nine. Codie Paiva came on in relief in the eighth inning, surrendering the tying run on an RBI single by Jonny DeLuca. An inning later, after a leadoff single be Spencer Steer, he gave up Matthews’ double. Oregon (3-2) wraps up its three-game series in Los Angeles on Sunday.

SOFTBALL

Ducks blanked by Vols — No. 5 Oregon was limited to three hits Saturday and lost 1-0 to No. 11 Tennessee at the Mary Nutter Classic in Cathedral City, California. It was the second straight loss for the Ducks (10-3), who have lost three of their past four games after opening the season with nine consecutive wins. The Volunteers scored in the first inning and made the run stand. Mia Camuso was 2-for-2 to lead Oregon at the plate. In the circle for the Ducks, Maggie Balint took the loss despite allowing just one run on six hits in four innings. Oregon plays twice on Sunday to close out the Nutter Classic, facing No. 7 LSU before taking on San Jose State.

Errors plague Beavers in defeat — McKenna Arriola, Alysha Everett and Hope Brandner all homered for Oregon State, but it was not enough to overcome five errors — and four unearned runs allowed — in a 10-7 loss to No. 6 Auburn on Saturday at the Mary Nutter Classic in Cathedral City, California. Arriola and Everett hit homers in the third inning to bring the Beavers back from a 4-1 deficit to a 4-4 tie. Oregon State would never lead, though, and lost its second in a row. The Beavers (9-6) conclude play in the Nutter Classic on Sunday against Long Island University Brooklyn.

MOTOR SPORTS

Harvick wins at Atlanta — Kevin Harvick led 141 of 163 laps Saturday for his fourth NASCAR Xfinity series victory in the past six years at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Harvick finished ahead of Joey Logano and Christopher Bell. Logano started second and Bell was on the pole. They were the only other drivers to lead laps. Harvick won each of the first two stages. He also won the 2013-2015 Atlanta Xfinity races before Kyle Busch won the last two years.

Moffitt takes Truck win — Kyle Busch lost the lead — and his left rear tire — on a late pit stop, opening the way for Brett Moffitt’s improbable win Saturday in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Noah Gragson finished second. Johnny Sauter, who won last week’s race at Daytona, was third. Ben Rhodes was fourth. Busch, who started from the pole, was denied his 50th career Truck victory. He finished 21st.

BOXING

Rungvisai keeps belt — INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Srisaket Sor Rungvisai retained his WBC super flyweight title with an exciting majority decision over Juan Francisco Estrada on Saturday night. Sor Rungvisai, a near unknown in international boxing two years ago, has won 18 consecutive bouts, including two defenses of the title he took from Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez in a major upset last year. Estrada appeared to win several late rounds with faster hands. Both boxers fought desperately in the 12th, and both were raised in victory by their cornermen after the bell. “I felt I won the fight clearly,” Estrada said. “I boxed him all night long, and then I attacked him the last three rounds. I landed great shots at the end. I don’t know what the judges saw.”
