June 21, 2006 Oregon State 5 - Rice 0
Dallas Buck threw game one, Jonah Nickerson threw game two, and Mike Stutes threw game three. The guy with the fourth-most starts on the team was Anton Maxwell, but Maxwell had pitched poorly in his last two starts, and they were almost two months before. The guy with the fifth-most starts on the team was Brian Budrow with exactly two starts. Budrow had never lasted into the fourth and had gotten shelled in his starts against Pacific and Portland. The guy with the sixth-most starts on the team was Daniel Turpen, and Turpen had exactly one start, the Sunday game in a round robin series with Cal Poly and New Mexico in Corvallis. Turpen had thrown 6.1 of seven-hit ball against New Mexico in an 8-2 win. Turpen only had two appearances after that, he closed out the Game Two win over Stanford in the Super Regional, throwing a perfect ninth. Turpen then pitched in the opener against Miami, throwing only 26 pitches and no-hitting Miami, who shelled both Buck and Eddie Kunz.
So, on three days' rest and with only one start on the year, Turpen got the call. Rice's leadoff hitter, Tyler Henley, singled through the right side on the game's second pitch, but Turpen induced the next batter to eliminate Henley on ground ball to Darwin Barney, who beat Henley to second on a ground ball to Barney. The second batter stole second and then moved over to third on an eight-pitch groundball to Chris Kunda. Rice's cleanup hitter is Josh Rodriguez. Rodriguez was an All-American and Second Round pick by the Indians in 2006. Rodriguez is currently playing his 18th year of professional baseball, although around than a third of that has been in Mexico. Turpen escaped the first by getting Rodriguez to groundout to Barney. Turpen then mowed down the next eight in order.
Barney walked to start the first, but John Wallace struck out. Barney stole second, and Cole Gillespie was plunked. Bill Rose hit a single to right to load the bases with one out. However, Tyler Graham hit into a 5-2-3 double-play to end the first.
Mitchy Slick walked to open the second on five pitches, but Kunda struck out looking. Shea McFeely singled to center to put runners on the corners with one out. However, Scott Santschi struck out looking, and Barney grounded out to short to end the threat. Oregon State was 0/4 in scoring a runner from third with one out or fewer.
Wallace led off the third with a base hit through the right side, and Gillespie drew a walk. Rowe singled through the left side to score Wallace, 1-0. Both runners moved over to third on a wild pitch, and then Graham was plunked to load the bases, which chased the starter. After falling behind 1-2, Canham battled and was ultimately plunked on pitch six to score Gillespie. Kunda hit a possible double-play ball to second but was able to beat out the throw to earn an RBI. However, McFeely struck out swinging, and Santschi flew out to left. Oregon State was 0/7 in scoring a runner from third with one out or fewer with two RBIs coming on Mitchy Slick's HBP and Kunda's FC.
Turpen started the fourth by inducing the two-hole hitter to fly out to left, and struck out the three-hole hitter. Rodriguez then started a two-out rally by doubling to right. The next batter for Rice was Joe Savery. Savery was an All-American first baseman/pitcher for Rice. Savery would go on to be picked with the 19th overall pick in the 2007 draft. Savery would play parts of four years in the Majors before retiring in 2015. Turpen had gotten Savery to hit a groundball to Barney in the second on the sixth pitch. In the fourth with first base open, Turpen walked Savery on four pitches. Turpen then plunked the next batter. However, Turpen got the seven-hole hitter to strike out swinging on three pitches to end the fourth. Turpen would recover to retire six of the next seven batters into the seventh.
Rice's reliever retired the next seven batters in order into the sixth. McFeely then homered to make it 4-0. Rice's reliever recovered to get Santschi to flyout to left and Barney to ground out to short.
Turpen hit the first batter that he faced with pitch six and advanced to second a passed ball. Turpen then induced the next two batters to groundout. After 85 pitches and 6.2 innings of five-hit ball, Joe Paterson relieved Turpen. Paterson walked the next hitter but got Henley to hit a groundball back to the mound to end the threat.
Gillespie hit a one-out triple to right, and Rowe drove in Gillespie on a sac fly, 5-0.
Paterson threw a perfect eighth and ninth to advance Oregon State to a winner-take-all true Semifinal game against Rice the next day.
The College World Series adopted the two-bracket Tournament in 1988. Oregon State became the second team in those 19 years to lose the first game and then win an elimination game on three consecutive days. The only other team to be able to turn the trick was South Carolina in 2004, and South Carolina had lost to eventual Champion Cal State Fullerton 4-0. Since 2006, no other team has been able to turn the trick. (2018 Oregon State had a day off between Washington and North Carolina and a second day off between North Carolina and Mississippi State.)
With a win the following day, Oregon State would become the first team to play in and win four consecutive elimination games on consecutive days since USC turned the trick back in 1971. 2006 was able to beat Rice 2-0 the next day, winning four consecutive elimination games on consecutive days. 2006 Oregon State remains the only team that has done this since 1971, and the no team remaining this year can turn the trick.
The Rice - Oregon State game was the game with the highest attendance at the 2006 College World Series, which in turn, was the most attended College World Series ever up until that point. The 2006 Rice - Oregon State game remains the most-attended game that Oregon State has ever played at Omaha.
June 21, 2013 Mississippi State 4 - Oregon State 1
Both teams were basically even. The difference in the game was the Bottom of the Fifth:
1952 and 2005 Oregon State were each eliminated before the 21st.
June 21st was the first of two consecutive days off for 2007 Oregon State. North Carolina beat Rice 7-4 to set up the rematch. 2006 and 2007 is only the second time in the College World Series history that two teams played each other in consecutive years. The only other instance was USC beating Arizona State in consecutive years back in 1972 and 1973 before the Devils joined the conference.
June 21st was the second of three consecutive days off for 2017 Oregon State. Louisiana State beat Florida State 7-4 to set up the rematch two days later.
June 21st was a day off for 2018 Oregon State. The 2018 Beavers had days off between the Washington and North Carolina and North Carolina and Mississippi State games. The first was because Oregon State was in the earlier of the two brackets. The second was because of the schedule used at the time. It was so rainy in 2018 that the schedule probably would have been changed anyway to try and work around the rain.
