Kleinschmit Strikes Out 11 But Florida State Forces Decisive Game Three
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Ethan Kleinschmit struck out 11 Florida State batters but a pair of solo runs in the seventh and eighth innings led to a 3-1 win by the Seminoles in front of a Goss Stadium record 4,408 Saturday.
The Beavers (46-14-1) scored first when Wilson Weber singled off Florida State (42-15) starter Jamie Arnold. That, however, was Oregon State’s only run of the game.
Max Williams singled in a run for Florida State in the third while Gage Harrelson broke the tie game with a single in the seventh. Jaxson West walked with the bases loaded in the eighth for the 3-1 final.
Kleinschmit was sharp in six innings of work, scattering two hits and two runs – one earned – with 11 strikeouts, his second-best tally of the season. He did, however, take the loss to drop to 8-4 on the year.
Arnold, meanwhile, held the Beavers to six hits and a run in 6 2/3 innings. The first of two relievers for Florida State, Maison Martinez, got the win to improve to 1-2. Peyton Prescott picked up his third save with two scoreless innings of relief.
Weber and Jacob Krieg each had two hits to pace the Beavers’ offense.
