FORT WORTH, Texas – Greg Fuchs and Ryan Ober each homered but Oregon State dropped a late comeback attempt versus Dallas Baptist, 6-5, Friday at Lupton Stadium. The game marked the opener of the Fort Worth Regional.
Down 6-1, Oregon State mounted a rally, first with Ober's solo home run in the fifth, his ninth round tripper of the season. Then, Fuchs went deep in the sixth for a three-run shot that pulled the Beavers to within one, 6-5.
Neither team managed to score from that point on. However, Oregon State (34-23 overall), put two runners in scoring position in the eighth, but Dallas Baptist got out of the jam on a line drive by Ober to third, and a groundout by Andy Armstrong.
