The Buckeyes have the #1 seed in the Big Ten tournament. They get a first round bye (as does #2 Minny).

On Thursday at 7:05 pm EDT on BTN, tOSU will play the lower seeded team of the two winners of these games: #4 Ill vs. #5 MSU, and #3 Indiana vs #6 Purdue.

It's a double elimination event, but if tOSU wins their first two games, they will play the team that comes out of the loser's bracket and only have to beat them once in two tries to win the tournament and gain the automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament.

Ohio State 7, Illinois 4: Buckeyes show some grit in plucky victory

Friday, May 22, 2009 3:13 AM
By Mark Znidar

Anyone needing more proof that Ohio State is a baseball team that refuses to lose received it last night in the second round of the Big Ten tournament. Starter Alex Wimmers, the right-hander who was co-conference pitcher of the year, didn't come close to dominating hitters.
The Buckeyes also didn't hit the ball like the machine that tore up opposing pitching all season.
Yet facing a three-run deficit in the sixth inning, Ohio State pecked and poked at Illinois, and eventually came away with a 7-4 victory before what is believed to be a single-day Big Ten tournament record crowd of 4,575 in Huntington Park.

COLUMBUS, Ohio ? Two weeks after Ohio State and Illinois played a thrilling game in front of more than 5,000 fans at Illinois Field, the two teams hooked up for another tense and terrific ball game at the Big Ten tournament at Huntington Park. This time, Ohio State pulled out the win, 7-4, to remain in the winner?s bracket of the tournament and face Indiana Friday night at 7:05 p.m.
Unlike two weeks ago, when Ohio State lost its only game of the season when leading after the seventh inning, the Buckeyes came from behind with two runs in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings, respectively, to come back from a 4-1 Illinois lead and improve to 40-15 on the season.
"I thought our hitters did a good job battling back," Ohio State head coach Bob Todd said. "This was a good team effort, though, with good pitches when we had to have them and a good job by our hitters."
