Oregon Series

[JCOSU86]

When OSU announced that they were going to upgrade their schedule, this week was what they had in mind. Both Georgia Tech and Oregon are players in the race for the CWS. They aren't on the level of Texas, LSU or USC, but they are better than most Big Ten schools.

That said, I hope they get some of these games in - it has been very rainy in Cbus this week.

if by chance, y'all ever come to The Box for a series, you should try to make the trip.

I'd do what I could to meet you in BR for a game.

Man what a tough weekend. No shame at all in losing to Oregon especially with how our pitching staff performed but Lord Almighty do we need to get the bats going!

Id kill to see OSU play at LSU in baseball. I have always liked LSU's baseball program. From the jerseys (Im a proud Reynoldsburg Baseball alum and we are also purple and gold) to Warren Morris' walkoff they are always fun to watch.

The Buckeyes threatened against Oregon starter Tommy Thorpe in the bottom of the second. Pat Porter and Jacob Bosiokovic singled to lead off the frame but Troy Kuhn popped up a sacrifice bunt attempt, Greg Solomon followed with a foul out to left and Thorpe got Wetzel to strike out to end the inning.

Oregon then got on the board against Ohio State starter Brad Goldberg in the top of the fourth. Brett Thomas singled off the back of Goldberg to lead off the inning and a throwing error by Goldberg on a sacrifice bunt attempt by Aaron Payne put runners at the corners with nobody out.
