Oregon State Baseball Secures Walk-Off Win Over Louisville at College World Series

The No. 8 Oregon State Beavers opened the 2025 Men’s College World Series with a dramatic 4-3 walk-off victory over Louisville at Charles Schwab Stadium in Omaha. After Louisville tied the game with two runs in the top of the ninth inning, shortstop Aiva Arquette singled, and outfielder Gavin Turley followed with a walk-off RBI double to score Arquette, sealing the win for Oregon State. The Beavers showcased resilience throughout the game, with freshman right-hander Dax Whitney striking out nine before being relieved, and Kellan Oakes closing the game despite Louisville’s late rally. This win marked Oregon State’s fourth walk-off victory of the season and their first College World Series appearance since winning the national title in 2018. Oregon State will face Coastal Carolina, who won their game against Arizona, in the winners bracket on Sunday, while Louisville and Arizona will meet in an elimination game. The Beavers entered the College World Series with the third-best odds to win the title, highlighting their strong postseason performance.
