In their opening game of the 2021 NCAA Tournament, the Beavers found themselves in a big hole as their pitching staff struggled. The Dallas Baptists Patriots went up 6-1 on Oregon State, but the Beavers battled back, and nearly pulled off the comeback. Unfortunately, that attempt felt just short, as the Beavers fell 6-5 and dropped to the Loser’s Bracket in the Fort Worth Regional.
The Patriots showed off their power early, with a Cole Moore hitting a 2 run homer in the top of the first. The Beavers responded in the bottom of the inning, with a Wade Meckler double getting things started.
