Missouri got back within 4-2 with a run in the bottom of the sixth, but the Beavers again responded in a hurry. Lissman led off the top of the seventh with his second homer of the season, a towering drive over the bullpen behind the leftfield fence. Wong followed with a double just inside first base, then with one out Mitch Canham's fly to left was dropped to put runners at second and third. Ogata then drilled a single up the middle to drive in two runs for a 7-2 lead.
Oregon State got its final runs in the top of the ninth inning on Dale Solomon's pinch-hit two-run double to right-centerfield.
Wong's pair of hits give the freshman second baseman a six-game hitting streak, the longest of the season thus far for Oregon State. Wong was named to the all-tournament team along with Ogata, Canham, infielder Lonnie Lechelt and pitcher Eddie Kunz; Canham was named the Most Valuable Player.
Casey's overall coaching record, which includes seven seasons at George Fox, is now 571-367-5.
