Maryland Series @ College Park, MD (FIRE BEALS)

Bucks take series with 5-1 over UMd

COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Behind a complete-game performance by left-handed sophomore pitcher Griffan Smith, the Ohio State baseball team defeated Maryland, 5-1, Sunday afternoon at Bob “Turtle” Smith Stadium to claim its second straight Big Ten series win. Smith, from Cincinnati, Ohio, fanned a career-high 10 hitters, while fifth-year senior centerfielder Ridge Winand blasted two home runs with four RBI. With the win, the Buckeyes improve to 23-18 overall and 6-6 in Big Ten play and the Terrapins fall to 19-21 overall and 6-6 in league action.

QUOTE FROM COACH
“Griffan’s ability to utilize his changeup and move the fastball to both sides of the plate made him very effective,” head coach Greg Beals said. “He controlled the tempo of the game and I wanted him to go as long as possible. It was great to see that out of him this afternoon. Ridge Winand was big for us today. He’s been a grinder for us and has a ton of respect from his teammates as a captain. I’m happy for Ridge that he had a big day for his ball club.”
