Lane Forsythe laid down a squeeze bunt to score Donovan LaSalle from third base as Oklahoma State Baseball won the longest game ever played at Globe Life Field on Feb, 24, 2-1 against No. 2 Arkansas.  

A dominant pitching performance from both teams led to the marathon February game at the Kubota College Baseball Series Weekend 2, part of the College Baseball Showdown. 

Forsythe was 0-for-5 before the walk-off squeeze bunt. 

Arkansas freshman Colin Fisher had pitched 2.1 innings and struck out six of the 11 batters he faced. But after his sixth strikeout, Donovan LaSalle singled, Charlie Carter hit a double, that was later ruled an error, to set up Forsythe. 

The game was dramatic five innings earlier.

Oklahoma State Baseball hadn’t recorded a hit against Arkansas since the bottom of the third inning and were scoreless before Aidan Meola hit a 1-out RBI double to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth inning.  

With the bases loaded, Arkansas went to freshman Gabe Gaeckle who struck out back-to-back batters. He finished with six strikeouts in 2.2 innings of hitless baseball. 

Playing in the nightcap of the second day of the Kubota College Baseball Series Weekend 2, the game was a pitching showcase that featured strong starts and stellar bullpen performances. 

The only bullpen hiccup was from Arkansas closer Jake Faherty in the ninth. He was pitching on back-to-back days and had saved the game for the Hogs on Friday against No. 3 Oregon State Baseball, but he walked two and hit a batter before being relieved with one out. 

The Cowboys seemingly had two quality starts from a pair of pitchers. Brian Holiday pitched 6.0 innings and allowed just two hits and one run and struck out six. He gave away to Gabe Davis, who pitched 5.2 innings and allowed three hits and no runs with five strikeouts. 

A day after Hagen Smith punched 17 batters, tying a program record, Arkansas pitchers combined to throw 25 strikeouts. They’ve thrown 48 strikeouts in two games. 

Arkansas faces Michigan, who lost 11-1 to Oregon State, at 2 p.m. on Sunday and Oklahoma State faces Oregon State at 6 p.m. to end weekend two of the College Baseball Showdown.

2024 MLB Draft Prospects In Oregon State Vs. Arkansas Baseball

Travis Bazzana, Oregon State Baseball

The Sydney, Australia native is the No. 3 overall prospect for this year’s draft behind only JJ Wetherholt of West Virginia and Nick Kurtz of Wake Forest. He enters the weekend batting .450 with an OPS of 1.492 and a slugging percentage of 1.050. The leadoff hitter has three home runs, a double and a triple in five games. 

Hagen Smith, Arkansas Baseball

Hagen Smith had a 3.64 ERA in 71.2 innings with 109 strikeouts in 2023 and is No. 15 and third-highest pitcher-only player in the top-100 rankings.

Smith has not pitched since Opening Day for Arkansas and the team hasn't announced it's starter for Friday's game as of Feb. 22. But it seems to lineup for the ace to face Oregon State on Friday. His first hitter he faces would be Bazzana, who hits leadoff for the Beavers. 

Gavin Turley, Oregon State

Gavin Turley is the No. 16 overall prospect in the 2025 MLB Draft. He slashed 309/.438/.664 as freshman for Oregon State. The outfielder is the No. 8 college player in his draft. He started this season with a slash line of .333/1.256/.778 through five games. 

Wehiwa Aloy, Arkansas Baseball

The sophomore is eligible for the 2025 draft and is currently the No. 13-ranked overall prospect in his class. At 6-foot-2, 195-pound, Aloy has a powerful frame at shortstop and had a slashline of .376/.427/.662 in 2023 when he played for Sacramento State. Baseball America also rates him as the No. 7 college prospect in the draft. 

It’ll be a tough task to overtake high school prospect Ethan Holliday as the top infielder in the class, but a strong SEC season would surely move him up the rankings. In the first four games, Aloy is batting .294 with two walks, four RBI and five hits. 

Trent Caraway, Oregon State

Trent Caraway was the No. 30 recruit in the country at Perfect Game. He was also the California Gatorade Player of the Year as a high school senior. His college career is starting with a five-game hitting streak with two home runs across his first two games. 

He enters the Arkansas game with a slash line of .474/1.492/.947. He has two homers, three doubles and nine hits in five games. He has even stolen two bases. 

The third baseman has also done this as the No. 9 hitter in the lineup batting ahead of All-American Travis Bazzana. 

He is the No. 24 overall prospect in 2025 and the No. 11 college prospect in that draft.
