Pitching Duel Headlines the Night
The matchup was defined by two of the nation’s best southpaws: Oregon State’s Ethan Kleinschmit and Florida State’s Jamie Arnold. Both aces were electric, racking up strikeouts and limiting hard contact.
- Kleinschmit struck out 11 Seminoles, allowing just two hits and a single earned run before exiting in the seventh. He worked around three walks and an early defensive miscue but kept the Beavers in the game throughout1.
- Arnold, the likely No. 1 overall MLB Draft pick, was equally impressive, fanning nine Beavers and scattering five hits over seven innings. He allowed just one run and showcased his dominant fastball-slider mix1.
Both starters were lifted in the seventh after surpassing the 110-pitch mark, handing the game to their respective bullpens in a 1-1 tie.

Oregon State jumped ahead quickly. After Arquette’s single and stolen base, Weber’s RBI single gave the Beavers a 1-0 lead before Arnold settled in.

In the third, a defensive error by OSU’s Trent Caraway allowed Jaxson West to reach. Williams’ two-out RBI single tied the game, shifting momentum back to Florida State1.
Go-Ahead Rally:
The decisive blow came in the bottom of the seventh. James Hankerson Jr. doubled, and Gage Harrelson’s single brought him home, giving FSU a 2-1 advantage. Palmer was lifted after just 17 pitches as OSU tried to stem the tide, but the Seminoles had seized control1.
Insurance Run:
In the eighth, Florida State loaded the bases and drew a two-out walk to West, pushing the lead to 3-1. Prescott then struck out four of the last six Beavers to seal the win1.
