CORVALLIS, Ore. – Washington State dropped a 16-inning 4-3 contest to No. 2 Oregon State Saturday afternoon. The 16-inning contest was the second-longest (innings) played in school history, trailing only a 1917 contest against UW that went 17 innings.
The Cougars tool a 2-0 lead into the seventh where OSU scored three times only to see WSU even things up at 3-3 with a run in the eighth inning. The two teams played scoreless baseball for the next seven innings until Oregon State lined a ball off the glove of the leaping Cougar third baseman and down the left field line to allow a base runner from second to score the game winner.
