BELLEVUE, Wash. – Brady Kasper hit a pinch-hit triple in the ninth to tie the game, and scored the game-winning run on a single by Travis Bazzana to send Oregon State to a come-from-behind 6-5 win over Seattle Wednesday at Bannerwood Park.

Easton Talt singled to open the ninth, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Canon Reeder and scored the game-tying run when Kasper drilled the first pitch he saw into the gap in right. Two batters later, Kasper scored the game winner when Bazzana blooped a single to left for his third hit of the game.

The two in the ninth erased a one-run deficit to Seattle, which had gone ahead with a solo run in the seventh. The Redhawks plated three in the sixth to take their first lead of the game.

The Beavers (16-9 overall) used a Mason Guerra home run – his third of the season – to go up 2-0 in the fourth. After Seattle (5-16) pulled ahead on a three-run home run in the sixth, Wilson Weber hit the first round tripper of his career to even the score at four.

Bazzana’s three hits paced the Beavers, who finished with nine overall. Reeder also had two, doubling in both the fifth and seventh innings.

Nelson Keljo worked a scoreless eighth, striking out the side, to earn his first career victory. Aiden Jimenez picked up the save – also the first of his career – when he struck out the only batter he faced in the ninth.

KD Alberghini gave up two in the ninth to take the loss, dropping to 0-1 on the year.
