SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – The Oregon State baseball team saw its 11-game win streak snapped when Cal Poly scored four runs in the ninth in a 7-6 loss to the Mustangs Saturday at Baggett Stadium.
Jack Collins walked the game off for Cal Poly when he hit a two-run home run over the left field fence on the first pitch he saw from Oregon State reliever Wyatt Queen.
It marked the Beavers’ (17-4) first loss this season when leading after six innings.
OSU scored first when Aiva Arquette hit a first-inning home run.
Cal Poly scored the game’s next three runs – one in each of the first three innings – before Jacob Krieg tied the game in the fourth with a two-run single. Arquette was later hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the fourth to put the Beavers up 4-3.
Krieg drove in his third run of the game when he homered in the eighth, a solo shot that marked his seventh long ball of the season.
Easton Talt gave the Beavers a three-run lead on a solo home run in the ninth, his third round-tripper of the season.
Cal Poly, however, opened the ninth with a double off Zach Edwards, and scored the next two runs on a single and a sacrifice fly. Queen came on and recorded an out on a foul out before Collins’ home run.
