UCLA baseball completes crazy comeback in 25-22 walk-off win over Oregon State

There have been some crazy college baseball games through the years, and UCLA and Oregon State participated in another one Saturday during the Pac-12 tournament.

Down by nine runs entering the bottom of the ninth inning, UCLA tied the score at 21-21. Oregon State went ahead 22-21 in the top of the 10th inning. UCLA tied it at 22-22 after a bases-loaded balk. Then reserve catcher Tommy Beres hit a walk-off three-run home run for a 25-22 UCLA victory in Scottsdale, Ariz.

"It was torture," UCLA coach John Savage said.

The two teams faced off 45 minutes later in an elimination game and Oregon State won 8-7 on a walk-off. Oregon State will face Stanford in the Pac-12 championship game on Sunday.

The statistics in a game that lasted 5 hours and 44 minutes were as crazy as the game itself. Oregon State used nine pitchers and UCLA seven. Oregon State's Justin Boyd had six hits in eight at-bats. Beres came off the bench to contribute seven RBIs. Kenny Oyama of UCLA went five for six with five RBIs.

This is the first year the Pac-12 is holding a baseball tournament.
