No. 8 overall seed Oregon State stays alive in Corvallis Regional with 20-3 rout of Saint Mary's
CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — Wilson Weber, Trent Caraway and Tyce Peterson all homered to back a strong start by Ethan Kleinschmit and No. 8 overall seed Oregon State avoided elimination in the Corvallis Regional with a 20-3 romp over Saint Mary's on Sunday.
The Beavers (43-13-1) need to beat No. 3 seed USC twice — Sunday night and again on Monday — to move on to the super regionals. The Trojans (37-21) need one win to advance.
Kleinschmit (8-3) yielded two runs on five hits and three walks in 7 2/3 innings — throwing 114 pitches. Joey Mundt got the final four outs.
Oregon State took a 1-0 lead in the second inning without a hit off Gaels starter Lukas Sarantos (3-1). Caraway walked on a 3-2 pitch, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt and advanced to third on a wild pitch before he scored on a sacrifice fly by Canon Reeder.
The Beavers added two unearned runs in the third, No. 9 batter Peterson hit a solo home run in the fourth, and Caraway did the same in the fifth for a 5-0 lead.
Saint Mary's got within 5-2 in its fifth on RBI singles by Eddie Madrigal and Cody Kashimoto.
Oregon State answered with a nine-run sixth to put it out of reach.
Sarantos allowed three runs — one earned — in 2 1/3 innings. Tai Gardini gave up Peterson's homer and Noah Waldeck surrendered Caraway's shot. Weber homered off Elliott Joslin in a six-run ninth.
Oregon State has played in eight straight NCAA Tournaments and 32 overall. The Beavers have made seven College World Series appearances — most recently in 2018 when they won it for the third time. They won back-to-back championships in 2006-07.
Saint Mary's (36-26) only other tournament appearance came in 2016.

David Bednar (1-4) struck out the side in the ninth for the Pirates. Frazier and Jared Triolo started the ninth with singles off Jordan Romano (0-3). Isiah Kiner-Falefa loaded the bases with a bunt before Oneil Cruz struck out looking. Gonzales then lifted a 2-2 slider to the warning track, allowing Frazier to score. Trea Turner gave Philadelphia an early lead, getting on with a single for his first of three hits and taking third on a double steal in the first before scoring on a grounder from Nick Castellanos. The Pirates' Bryan Reynolds hit an RBI single the next inning. Turner hit a double to right and Alec Bohm brought him in with a single to left, putting the Phillies back ahead 2-1 in the third. Reynolds tied it again with his eighth home run of the season into the left-field bleachers. Turner drove in two with a two-out single for a 4-2 lead in the fourth. Henry Davis answered with a two-run homer the same inning. Matt Strahm struck out the side for the Phillies in the eighth.

AJ Singer's 10th-inning single gives Oregon State 5-4 win over FSU after trailing by 3 in the ninth
CORVALLIS, Ore. -- AJ Singer's 10th-inning single lifted Oregon State to a come-from-behind 5-4 victory over Florida State on Friday in the opening game of the Corvallis Super Regional. The Beavers (46-13-1) were down to their last strike in the ninth inning before Jacob Krieg's two-run single tied it up at 4-4, capping a three-run rally. Earlier, Wilson Weber doubled leading off the ninth and later scored on a wild pitch. In the bottom of the 10th, Aiva Arquette led off with a double and took third on a single by Gavin Turley. After an intentional walk loaded the bases, still with nobody out, Arquette was forced out at home by the catcher for the first out. Singer then drove the first pitch into center field and Turley scored the winning run. Myles Bailey's go-ahead solo home run in the sixth cleared the bleachers and left the ballpark, giving the Seminoles a 2-1 lead. Florida State (41-15) added a run on a single by Max Williams in the seventh and another on Brody DeLamielleure's two-out single in the eighth for a 4-1 lead. Oregon State starter Dax Whitney struck out 10 in 4 2/3 innings but left after throwing 97 pitches and allowing one run. He has 22 strikeouts over two NCAA Tournament starts. Kellan Oakes (4-0) pitched the 10th inning and got the win. Starter Joey Volini allowed one run in 7 2/3 innings for Florida State. John Abraham (4-1) took the loss. Both teams had a runner thrown out at the plate in the early innings. In the second inning, Oregon State shortstop Arquette threw out James Hankerson Jr. at the plate on a relay from center fielder Canon Reeder. Hankerson was trying to score from first on a double by Hunter Carns that scored Drew Faurot for the first run of the game. In the third inning, Oregon State's Tyce Peterson was thrown out at home by FSU shortstop Alex Lodise on a relay from left fielder Chase Williams. Peterson was trying to score from first on a double by Krieg.
