Caraway's grand slam helps Oregon State beat Florida State 14-10, advance to CWS
The Beavers (47-14-1) advance to the College World Series for the eighth time in program history and the first since 2018, when Oregon State won the most recent of its CWS titles.
Krieg walked, Reeder was hit by a pitch and McEntire drew an eight-pitch walk to set up Caraway's slam and Turley's shot made it 13-3.
Zach Kmatz (2-0) gave up two runs over 2 2/3 relief innings.
Max Williams hit a two-run homer in the top of the first but Oregon State responded in the bottom. Reeder hit a three-run home run off starter Wes Mendes (7-3) before McEntire added a solo shot to that gave the Beavers a 7-2 lead.
Chase Williams hit a solo shot in the second for No. 9 seed Florida State (42-16). Lodise had an RBI in the fourth and, after Tyce Peterson responded with a solo homer for OSU, Jaxson West and Gage Harrelson each drove in a run in the fifth. Myles Bailey hit a two-run home run in the six to make it 14-8.
Brody DeLamielleure and Harrelson drove in a run apiece to cap the scoring in the ninth.
The Seminoles beat Oregon State 3-1 on Saturday to avoid elimination after the Beavers rallied to win the opener 5-4 in 10 innings.
Florida State played in its record 19th super regional and its 61 postseason appearances and 211 postseason wins are second in NCAA history, behind Texas with 259 wins in 64 appearances.

Phillies sign 1st-round draft pick pitcher Gage Wood out of Arkansas
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — It's been an eye-opening experience for Gage Wood, the Philadelphia Phillies' first-round draft pick. The right-handed pitcher from the University of Arkansas officially signed a $3 million contract on Tuesday and will report this week to the Phillies' training complex in Clearwater, Florida. The 26th overall pick has already had a taste of what his Philly future could be.

(Meredith Seaver/College Station Eagle via AP, File) 'It's awesome. I got to come up here to Philly for the first time, I worked my whole life for this,' the 21-year-old Wood said. 'It's a blessing and I can't wait to get going.' Wood had spent a few days in the city, seeing an explosive fan reaction when Kyle Schwarber hit a grand slam that proved to be a winning blow over the Angels on Saturday night, and having his family with him in Citizens Bank Park to see the Phillies beat the Red Sox on Monday night on a catcher's interference call. 'The stadium's awesome, the fans are awesome and the environment is incredible,' Wood said. 'It was really surreal.' When he hasn't been at the ballpark, Wood added, 'I've been working out at the hotel, and we've been playing catch in the strip of grass right across the road.' It doesn't get any more thrilling than that. When it comes to his status, however, Wood isn't one for hyperbole. The kid who threw a 19-strikeout no-hitter in the College World Series was asked if he thought that set him apart from other first-round draftees.

'But I'll let the people in the front office make that decision.' ___ AP MLB:

Holding No. 1 pick, Nationals' front-office upheaval injects even more uncertainty into MLB draft
The Washington Nationals are at a pivotal point in their rebuild to baseball relevance, owning the No. 1 overall pick in the Major League Baseball amateur draft that begins on Sunday night in Atlanta. There are multiple intriguing prospects they can choose from, including prep shorstop Ethan Holliday, the son of seven-time All-Star Matt Holliday and brother of Jackson Holliday, who was the No. 1 overall pick in 2022 and is now in the majors with the Baltimore Orioles. In a related note, Washington earlier this week fired longtime general manager Mike Rizzo and manager Dave Martinez. Bold choice. The Nats' head-scratching move — more for the timing than the actual decision — injects another layer of uncertainty to a draft that might be one of the most unpredictable in recent memory. The first three rounds of the 20-round draft will take place on Sunday with the rest of the selections on Monday. Washington promoted Mike DeBartolo to interim GM and he'll handle the draft. He was previously the team's assistant general manager and has been with the franchise since 2012. DeBartolo said he'll lean on the evaluations of the team's scouting department, but also has his own opinions about the process and will be the decision maker. Money will also be a factor, as teams have to work within their bonus pool, which is calculated by multiple factors. The Orioles are at the high end this year with more than $19 million to spend. The Yankees — who don't pick until No. 39 — are at the bottom with roughly $5.3 million. 'They've been working hard for this moment, almost even before the last draft ended,' DeBartolo said. 'So, I'll bring my own voice to that process, and I'll work collaboratively with them, and take what they have to say and ultimately be responsible for making the picks.' There is little consensus about who the Nats might select at No. 1 on Sunday, though some of the top prospects are a pair of college left-handed pitchers — LSU's Kade Anderson and Tennessee's Liam Doyle — along with Oregon State shortstop Aiva Arquette and prep shortstops Holliday and Eli Willits. 'There are several really talented players that are going to be in the mix for us,' DeBartolo said. 'We have to decide how to strategize with our bonus pool money and what the player bonus pool demands are and run through all those scenarios over the coming days.' After the Nationals, the Los Angeles Angels have the No. 2 selection. The Seattle Mariners, Colorado Rockies and St. Louis Cardinals round out the top five. Left-handed college pitchers lead the pack Several of the top prospects in this year's draft are left-handed college pitchers, including Anderson, Doyle and Florida State's Jamie Arnold. Anderson helped LSU win the College World Series title last month, throwing a complete-game shutout in Game 1 of the championship series to cement his status as one of the draft's top prospects. He finished with a 12-1 record and a 3.18 ERA with 180 strikeouts in 119 innings. Anderson had Tommy John elbow surgery in high school, but has obviously come back strong. Doyle rocketed up MLB mock drafts with a terrific season for the Vols, finishing with a 10-4 record, 3.20 ERA and 162 strikeouts in 95 2/3 innings. Arnold was a breakout star for Florida State in 2024 before regressing a bit last season, but he still finished with an 8-2 record, 2.98 ERA and 119 strikeouts. 'Obviously, college left-handers are kind of a premium right now,' Mariners vice president of amateur scouting Scott Hunter said. 'There's a few of those at the high end of the draft.' Corona stars Corona High School — about 45 miles from Los Angeles — could have three players drafted in the first round. The prep powerhouse is led by right-handed pitcher Seth Hernandez, who is regarded as a potential top five pick. Shortstop Billy Carlson is also expected to be selected early in the first round. Third baseman Brady Ebel isn't quite as highly-regarded — he's the No. 64 prospect according to — but there's potential that he could still sneak into the opening round.
