    • Scarlet and Gray World Series 2010

    COLUMBUS, Ohio - Twenty days worth of practices conducted by head coach Greg Beals and his staff are in the books. The Buckeyes have been divided into a Scarlet team and a Gray team. The pitching matchups are set. Now...it's time to play some fall baseball!
    The Ohio State baseball team's annual "Fall Classic," the Scarlet & Gray World Series, will begin Wednesday at 6 p.m. at Bill Davis Stadium with a Scarlet vs. Gray game that will match two-thirds of Ohio State's Big Ten weekend rotation from a year ago: senior pitchers Drew Rucinski (Scarlet) and Dean Wolosiansky (Gray).
    Game 2 will be Friday at 3:30 p.m. with sophomore Brett McKinney taking the mound for the Scarlet and true freshman Greg Greve throwing for the Gray.
    A couple of transfers will take to the mound in Game 3 Saturday at 3 p.m.: second-year freshman John Kuchno, who attended Wake Forest last year but didn't play baseball and is thus eligible to pitch in the spring, will start for Scarlet against Gray newcomer Brad Goldberg, a junior who spent his first two seasons at Coastal Carolina.
    "You could say the rotations we have established for this series of games consists of six guys we are looking at as potential starters for us next year," Beals said.
