PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. – The Ohio State baseball team opened play at the 2017 Snowbird Classic with a 7-3 win over Lehigh Tuesday afternoon at North Charlotte Regional Park. With the win, the Buckeyes improve to 7-8 on the year, while Lehigh falls to 2-9 in 2017.
“It was good to have Jake out there and get his first start,” head coach Greg Bealssaid. “He wasn’t his sharpest today, but gave us some quality innings. It’s a great experience for him and we will look forward to more starts from Jake Vance. Offensively, we set the tone, scoring in the first four innings. We played strong defense behind our pitching staff. I was really happy for Woodby, Stoll and Irving who closed out the ball game. We were able to rest our other bullpen guys and we will be ready to finish out this trip tomorrow.”
Each Buckeye in the lineup recorded a hit vs. the Mountain Hawks. Tre’ Gantt went 1-for-3 with two runs scored, a home run and two walks, while Zach Ratcliff was 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI. Tyler Cowles was 1-for-2 with a run scored, two RBI and walk. Dominic Canzone, Bo Coolen and Noah McGowan each had two hit days. On the mound, Austin Woodby was credited with the win to improve to 1-0 on the year after throwing 2.1 scoreless innings of relief work.

Ohio State plated two runs in the opening at-bat against right-hander Matt Ashey. Gantt walked to start things off before Jalen Washington was hit by a pitch. A single by Noah McGowan made it a 1-0 contest. Zach Ratcliff then ripped a double to right center to push Washington around.
After Lehigh scored a run on a sac fly in the top of the second, the Buckeyes answered with a sac fly of their own in the bottom half when Washington drove in Tyler Cowles on an 0-2 pitch off Ratner. Cowles scored Bo Coolen in the following inning with a sac fly to center field for a 4-1 lead.
The Buckeyes regained a three-run advantage with a pair of runs in the bottom of the fourth. Gantt connected on a 2-2 fastball vs. left-handed reliever Sam Ashey for a solo home run to lead off the inning. Washington knocked a single and scored on a sac fly by Ratcliff.
