COLUMBUS, Ohio -- In a wild game at Nick Swisher Field at Bill Davis Stadium, the Ohio State baseball team evened the B1G series with a 13-12 win vs. Maryland on a hot Saturday afternoon in Columbus, Ohio. With the win, Ohio State improves to 34-14 overall and 13-7 in the Big Ten, while Maryland falls to 34-17 overall and 12-8 in the Big Ten. The series finale between the Buckeyes and the Terrapins is slated to start at 1:05 p.m. ET Sunday on Senior Day.

"It was a draining game and it took a lot of the guys, but it was a win we needed to get," head coach Greg Beals said. "We got to a point where we were playing afraid to lose instead of playing to win, but it's a win and a win against a good ball team. We did a lot of things offensively to help our confidence. Our biggest thing for tomorrow is for us to get a win for our seniors and not look at the big picture. These seniors have spilled a lot of blood, sweat and tears over the past four years and that's what we are going to be ready to play for tomorrow."

Ohio State jumped out to a 13-4 lead after five innings and held off the Terrapins, who scored eight unanswered runs to cut the lead to 13-12 heading into the ninth. The Buckeyes went scoreless in the final four innings, but the team held on defensively. Senior closer Trace Dempsey left two runners on base in the final frame to seal the conference win for the Scarlet and Gray. Dempsey threw two innings and allowed three runs on three hits with a walk and strikeout.
