    ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - No. 13 Ohio State picked up a 4-2 comeback victory over South Florida behind a strong performance by ace Alex Wimmers Friday evening in St. Petersburg. Wimmers went eight innings, giving up five hits, one earned run and punching out six. Ryan Dew led the offensive attack, going 3-for-4 with two runs scored, one being the go-ahead tally.
    The Buckeyes faced their first deficit of the young season after Ryan Lockwood led off the first with a single, stole second and scored after Junior singled and advanced to second on an error by third baseman Brad Hallberg. Carlin advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt and eventually scored on a ground ball to make the score 2-0 before the Buckeyes came up to bat.
    Ohio State answered back in the bottom of the second and cut the lead in half when Brian DeLucia doubled home Dew with two down in the inning.
