Oregon State’s Comeback Leads To 29th Win Of 2024
April 13, 2024 | Baseball
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Jacob Kmatz scattered six hits and a run over six innings and Wilson Weber's fifth-inning single served as the game-winner in No. 5 Oregon State's come-from-behind 3-1 victory over Stanford Saturday night at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field.
Dallas Macias homered for the second consecutive game as the Beavers claimed the series victory over the Cardinal. Oregon State won its eighth consecutive game, improved to 29-4 on the year, with a 19-0 record at Goss Stadium.
The 29th win of the season came in come-from-behind fashion thanks to a solo home run by the Cardinal's Jimmy Nati to lead off the second. The opposite field long ball, however, was the lone blemish of the night against Kmatz, who ended up with six strikeouts.
The righty and reigning Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week improved to 5-1 this season and has combined to allow 10 hits and two runs over his last 15 innings against Arizona State and Stanford.
Stanford's (13-19, 6-8) Christian Lim held the Beavers scoreless for the first four innings, but gave way to Cardinal reliever Joey Volchko with two on and two down in the fifth. Weber came to the plate and drilled a 1-0 between first and second to drive in two, giving the Beavers the lead for good.
Macias added an insurance run in the seventh when he took a 2-0 offering from Trevor Moore and deposited it over the right field fence. The home run was the fourth of the season for the sophomore and it extended his hit streak to 10 games.
Oregon State managed five hits against the three Stanford pitchers, with Weber accumulating two. OSU walked 12 times.
Bridger Holmes improved to 8-for-8 in save opportunities after stranding a Stanford runner on second base with his fourth strikeout of the night to end the game. He worked 2 1/3 innings in his 13th relief outing of the season.
Next Up
The teams conclude the three-game series Sunday at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field. First pitch is slated for 12:05 p.m. PT and the game will air live on the Pac-12 Network, which includes Pac-12.com and the Pac-12 Now app.
Oregon State Game Notes
• Jacob Kmatz threw just 12 pitches in a 1-2-3 top first inning. That came a day after Aiden May threw six pitches in the first in the opener.
• Gavin Turley recorded his first assist of the season when he threw out a runner attempting to score in the third. It was the sixth by an Oregon State outfielder this season and second of the series.
• Travis Bazzana hit the 44th double of his career in the fifth. That pushed him into a tie for fourth in OSU history, equaling Joe Gerber (1997-2000) and Michael Conforto (2012-14).
• Bazzana also walked three times to give him 44 on the year and 148 for his career. He trails only Adley Rutschman (2017-19) and Garret Forrester (2021-23). The duo each had 156.
• Oregon State won its 22nd consecutive game at home. The Beavers' longest streak is 24 games during the 1951-1952 seasons.
• Dallas Macias' seventh-inning home run gave Oregon State 64 on the year. The Beavers have hit at least one in 15 consecutive games.
• The Beavers improved to 12-0 when wearing their white uniforms.
• Dallas Macias' home run in the seventh inning extended his hit streak to 10 games.
• Macias has also hit home runs in back-to-back games.
• Bridger Holmes is a perfect 8-for-8 in save opportunities this season. The Beavers, as a team, are 11-for-11.
• An OSU opponent tallied more hits than the Beavers for just the seventh time this season. Oregon State is 5-2 when that occurs.
• Oregon State left a season-high 14 on base.
