    LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Following last week's 3-0 road swing, the Louisville baseball team returns home this week to host a pair of important mid-week games against Big Ten power and No. 25 ranked Ohio State on Tuesday at 6 p.m. ET, and Wednesday at noon at Jim Patterson Stadium and admission is free for both games.
    The two-game, mid-week series is an important for both Louisville and Ohio State as both teams continue to build their NCAA resumes for potential NCAA Regional bids. The Buckeyes are ranked No. 25 in this week's National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Top 30 and No. 27 in the latest Collegiate Baseball News Top 30, and both OSU and Louisville are receiving votes in this week's USA Today/ESPN Coaches' Top 25 Poll.
    The Cardinals enter the final two weeks of the regular-season at 32-13 overall and in second place in the BIG EAST Conference standings at 14-6. Last week, Louisville earned an 11-2 win at rival Kentucky and two more wins at Villanova (10-4, 9-2) before Sunday's finale was rained out.

    Buckeyes lose game 2

    If this is a barometer of where Ohio State is when stacked up against other strong teams, the results are not encouraging.

    LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The second game of a two-game set between Ohio State and Louisville was won by the Cardinals, 12-7, Wednesday afternoon at Jim Patterson Field. Starting two hours later than scheduled due to rain, the Cardinals put four runs on the board in the first and another three in the second on the way to their 34th win of the season against 13 defeats. No. 27 Ohio State falls to 34-13 with the loss.
    Give these Buckeyes some credit for fighting back after trailing by that initial 7-0 score and later by an 11-4 count. The team had 11 hits and all seven runs were the result of five Buckeye home runs.
    Matt Streng and Zach Hurley put the Buckeyes back into the game after the 7-0 deficit. Streng hit a one-out home run ? his eighth of the year ? to right in the third inning, and then, after Streng hustled for a one-out double in the fifth, Hurley sent an 0-2 pitch out of the park in right, bringing the Buckeyes to within 7-3. Later in the inning Michael Stephens hit the first of his two home runs on the day to make the score 7-4.
