The score remained 1-0 until the fourth when OSU rallied for six runs on seven hits, three of which were home runs.
Green led off the inning with a home run, his fourth of the season, and two batters later, Ridling hit his first homer of the game, also a solo shot. After a double by Tom Belza, Flores made the score 4-0 with a two-run homer.
