The time for summer television reruns is near, and yesterday the Ohio State baseball team marked the occasion by following a script from last year to qualify for the Big Ten tournament.
The Buckeyes needed to win their final game to clinch a spot -- just like in 2007 when they went on to win the Big Ten tournament -- and they did it with a 9-7 victory over Iowa in Iowa City.
Ohio State finished 15-15 in the conference for the second straight year and 30-24 overall, and will take on Illinois in the first round of the tournament at Michigan. It's the 12th consecutive year the Buckeyes were among the top six in the conference to qualify for the tournament.
