CORVALLIS - A weird and wacky series opener for Sun Devil Baseball went in favor of No. 5 Oregon State, 13-8, on Friday evening in Corvallis.
After falling into a 5-0 hole early, ASU (15-15, 6-7 Pac-12) rallied to bring the tying or go-ahead run to the plate in five straight innings but couldn't find a stop on the defensive end or the big hit on the offensive end to complete the comeback.
Brandon Compton was 2-for-4 with three RBIs and a homer and , Ethan Mendoza and Kien Vu also added two-hit games.
