COLUMBUS, Ohio- Ohio State swept a Big Ten Conference series over Michigan for the first time in Bill Davis Stadium and the first time in 15 years with a doubleheader sweep Saturday after the Game 1 win Friday night. A season-high crowd of 2,957 was at Bill Davis Stadium Saturday to enjoy the fine weather and the fun that comes with a 7-6, 11-inning win in the first game Saturday and a 4-3, 10-inning win in the nightcap.
"That is a long day but there is no better way I'd like to spend it," Ohio State coach Greg Beals said referring to the consecutive one-run wins after taking the opening game in the series, 7-2, Friday night. "We're a good team...not the most talented, but we scrap. The guys keep fighting. They keep playing. And they were able to get two one-run wins that enabled us to sweep the series."
The three wins in two days over Michigan improved Ohio State's records to 19-18 overall and 9-6 in the Big Ten Conference. The Buckeyes are just one-half game out of first-place in the Big Ten standings with Michigan State and Purdue leading the way with 9-5 records. Michigan falls to 6-9 in the Big Ten and 13-28 overall.
