ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Kollin Ritchie started a four-run ninth inning with his 17th home run of the season and freshman Brock Thompson hit a walk-off two-run homer as Oklahoma State eliminated No. 7 national seed Georgia 11-9 on Sunday in the Athens Regional.

It was Ritchie’s fourth homer of the regional and Thompson’s shot to the opposite field was Oklahoma State’s 15th.

Oklahoma State (30-24) will play Duke in the regional final on Sunday night and would have to beat the Blue Devils twice to reach super regionals.

Georgia (43-17) entered the regional 29-4 at home this season.

Matthew Brown (1-0) gave Oklahoma State a chance by striking out the side in the top of the ninth after entering with two on.

Tyler McLoughlin and Zach Harris (3-1) each gave up a home run in the ninth.

Slate Alford went 3 for 4, with two home runs and three RBIs for Georgia. Alford started a five-run third with a two-run blast and he added a solo shot in the fourth for a 6-3 lead.

The Bulldogs used RBI singles in the seventh and eighth innings for a 9-7 lead.
