Watching the ‘18 year in review.

Always thought Gret was really under appreciated. He was a winner, every teams needs those kind of dudes

No easy outs with that team, maybe Taylor, but even he had good AB's in the tournament.

For an example see game two against Arkansas, when he walked in the 9th after a long at bat.

Yep,

IIRC, a huge shot down the left field line that was foul. Maybe two, I haven't watched the inning lately & my memory isn't what is used to be.

However, here's how I remember it.

Taylor walk & pinch runner
Armstrong with a great bunt on a tough pitch
Madrigal ground out, runner to 3rd
Grenier with one of the greatest AB's in OSU History...... base hit tying the game. (Plus the missed foul pop up by by 3 Arky players.
Larnach with a "laser beam" homer into the LF bullpen to take the lead.

The last out of the inning..... I don't remember because I was so happy.
 

Taylor had a shot down the leftfield line that was just foul and then a second, which was even more foul.  Seven-pitch walk.  Important, because it put Clayton on.  But also important, because it ate up seven crucial pitches against Cronin, softening him up for Grenier and Larnach later.

Armstrong bunted a tough pitch after almost popping up the first pitch.

Madrigal, who was playing hurt, hit one to the right side to move Clayton over.  But Madrigal did eat up six pitches to set the stage for Grenier.  Cronin only has five good pitches in the tank.  The next four are probably Cronin's worst four pitches on the season.

Grenier hit one into the Fayetteville Triangle before punching one through the left side.  Arkansas' coach did not buy into shifts and did not shift to allow the grounder into left.  (That said, Grenier is so fast that the shift did not work often against him.)

Larnach then hit a laser beam into the rightfield bullpen, the Oregon State bullpen.  No one was in there.  Mully only went down there after Larnach hit the home run into there.
