No.9 Oregon State Baseball (6-2) jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning, and Jacob Krieg drove in three runs to give the Beavers the lead for good as Oregon State beat Baylor 4-3 in the final game of Day 1 of the Amegy Bank College Baseball Series Weekend 3 on Feb. 28.
OSU starter Nelson Keljo retired nine of the first batters he faced as he worked with an early 2-0 lead. But he allowed three straight hits in the fourth, including a Wesley Jordan 2-run home run that tied the game.
Jordan’s towering shot was one of the longest in a college game this year at Globe Life Field, but that was until the bottom of the inning.
Krieg answered for the Beavers in the with a solo shot that was also in the outfield double deck as the Beavers regained a lead they wouldn’t lose.
Matthew Morrell worked a perfect eighth and ninth inning as the Beavers took the game.
But Baylor, off to its best start since 2019 was game for the top-10 team. Baylor pitcher Ethan Calder allowed four runs on just four hits and stuckout four. He allowed a double in the sixth inning and the runner would later score after a Kreig RBI-single, but the lefty worked several 1-2-3 innings.
Baylor scored a run in the seventh, but the inning could have been even bigger had Oregon State right fielder Easton Talt not robbed Pearson Riebock of a home run.
