After loading the bases with one out in the bottom of the third, Reynolds walked designated hitter John Wallace, which allowed Cole Gillespie to cross the plate and give OSU a 3-2 lead.

The Beavers tied the score earlier in the inning when second baseman Chris Kunda knocked one down the third baseline and Stanford's Randy Molina was charged with an error. Kunda made it to second and Gillespie was then walked. Bill Rowe hit a bouncer past the second baseman and Kunda scored, tying the game. With the walk, OSU went up 3-2.

Stanford led after leftfielder Jim Rapoport smashed a towering home run past the right field fence in the second, bringing in Randy Molina. The Cardinal had a 2-1 lead going into the bottom of three but couldn't hold it.

Stanford threatened to increase its lead with a runners on third and first, but second baseman Chris Lewis pop to centerfield was caught for out three.

Reynolds doesn't necessarily look rattled, but he also doesn't look like the No. 2 pick right now.
