But both college baseball powers suffered stunning Friday defeats against lower-seeded teams during an upset-laden opening round in Corvallis — the Horned Frogs were routed by the No. 3 seed USC Trojans 13-1 in the opener, and the Beavers fell 6-4 to the No. 4 seed Saint Mary’s Gaels in the nightcap.

The TCU baseball season had a rough ending. Seven runs through the first three innings proved to be all Oregon State needed to stay alive and end the Horned Frogs’ season on Saturday in the Corvallis Regional, 7-2. One day after both teams lost their regional openers, the two highest seeds needed a win to stay alive.

Four home runs in the first three innings gave Oregon State all the scoring it would need, while a great start from Dax Whitney shut down TCU.
