CORVALLIS, Ore. – AJ Singer drove home Gavin Turley on a one-out single in the 10th inning to cap an Oregon State comeback in the Beavers’ 5-4 win over Florida State in front of 4,378 fans at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field.
Aiva Arquette doubled to open the inning, and Turley reached on an infield single. Wilson Weber was intentionally walked and after Trent Caraway reached on a fielder’s choice, Singer stepped to the plate for his fifth at bat of the day. He proceeded to single on the first pitch he saw from reliever John Abraham to end the game.
Singer’s game-winner was made possible by clutch hitting in the ninth to overcome a 4-1 deficit. Weber doubled to open the inning, then, after two outs by the Seminoles (41-15), Bryce Hubbard pinch hit and walked. Dallas Macias singled to right and then Weber scored on a wild pitch. That brought up Jacob Krieg, who battled to a 2-2 count before singling in a pair to tie the game.
The Beavers (46-13-1) tallied 13 hits off three Florida State pitchers, which included five doubles. Weber had two while Arquette, Singer and Krieg posted two hits apiece.
