Pack reliever Cooper Powell retired the first two hitters in the bottom of the 10^th inning bringing OSU's Adley Rutschman to the plate.  Rutschman hit an 0-1 pitch to center field where Cole Krzmarzick attempted to make a diving catch but the ball got by him and rolled to the fence and Rutschman rounded the bases for an inside-the-park home run to give the Beavers the walk-off victory for the second night in a row.
 
Nevada led 5-3 heading to the bottom of the eighth inning but OSU scored four runs after the first two outs of the inning were recorded to move in front 7-5.  All four of the runs scored on bases loaded walks as OSU collected just one hit in the inning.    
 
The Pack responded scoring twice in the top of the ninth inning off OSU ace Luke Heimlich to knot the score at seven.  With one out Mike Echavia singled and Grant Fennell followed with a double.  Dillan Shrum's groundout scored Echavia and Fennell moved to third base.  Weston Hatten's RBI single tied the game where it remained until the bottom of the 10^th inning.
 
Nevada scored five times in the top of the fourth of the inning take and early 5-0 advantage.  Fennell's home run scored the first two runs of the inning.  Hatten's solo blast made it 3-0 and catcher Marco Valenzuela's first home run of the season was a two-run shot that made it 5-0 Wolf Pack.
 
OSU scored twice in the sixth and once in the seventh to close with a two at 5-3.  The big four-run eighth inning put the Beavers in front 7-5 before the Pack rallied with two in the ninth inning to tie the game at seven.
