Oregon State Baseball: Beavers Outlast Bruins 12-11

CORVALLIS, Ore. – Dallas Macias drew a bases-loaded walk on the ninth pitch of his at bat to send No. 7 Oregon State to a 12-11 walkoff win over UCLA in front of 4,032 fans Saturday night at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field.

Macias came to the plate with the bases loaded and two down against UCLA’s Rashad Ruff. He battled Ruff to a 3-1 count, took a strike then fouled off three consecutive offerings before a ball high and inside sent the Beavers to their 38th win of the season. It capped a seesaw battle that saw OSU battle back from a 6-1 deficit and break off a handful of ties to take the series.

Oregon State hit five home runs in the win, with Brady Kasper going deep twice to lead an offensive attack that saw the Beavers tally 14 hits. Kasper hit his first in the second, then again in the third. Jabin Trosky also hit a home run, the first of his career, during the Beavers’ seven-run third inning.

Wilson Weber hit his sixth of the year in the fifth, and Gavin Turley hit his 17th of the season in the eighth to snap what was then a 10-10 tie.
