The Lady Buckeyes have kicked off the 2016 softball season by starting with a 5-3 record. They won 3 of 4 in the LSU Tournament beating North Florida, Pacific and Connecticut, while losing to the host Tigers of LSU.
They then participated in the ACC-B1G Challenge and split 4 games - sweeping Georgia Tech and being swept by Syracuse.

Funny story: On my phone, I get alerts about OSU sports. I got "Ohio State wins 6-5..." and then minutes later I got the same thing (the message gets truncated on my home screen). So I think I need to go in a eliminate duplicates again (it's been a problem in the past) only to learn that the Lady Bucks won their softball game 6-5 and minutes later the OSU men's hockey team beat Whisky 6-5.

Lady Bucks denied the sweep
SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- Shelby Hursh dueled with USC Upstate's Holly McKinnon pitch for pitch, but a two-run home run by the Spartans' Brittany Case proved to be the difference as Ohio State (9-4) dropped a hard-fought 2-0 decision on Sunday afternoon at Cyrill Stadium in Spartanburg, S.C.
Hursh tossed six innings, allowing just four hits while striking out seven. McKinnon was equal to the task, however, as she gave up five hits and recorded her second complete game of the season. Both pitchers came into the game with a sub-2.00 ERA.

Still finished 4-1 in SCar and that is good.

H&G: I have to agree. The best info I can find is on the official site. They do a pretty good job of recapping, etc, but not so much with previews, etc.

OSU opens the tournament against a very tough James Madison squad. The Duchesses are 17-1 on the season. Their only loss so far has been to Alabama (see OSU isn't the only one).
Next up is the Lady Hoyas from Georgetown. They are currently 5-11. The streaky Hoyas started the season 2-11 (including a 7 game losing streak) but have won their last 3 against Maryland, Robert Morris and Columbia.
The 3rd game of the series will pit the Buckeyes against conference foe Nebraska. The Cornhuskers are sitting at 12-4 on the year.
They wrap up the series with a game again the host Arizona State Sun Devils. The Lady Devils are 18-5. They started the year winning their first 6. After a loss to Kentucky they won their next 5 (including 5-2 over Michigan State). Another 5 game win streak followed and was stopped by Minnesota in surprising fashion, 10-1. The Lady Devils have somewhat come back to earth having split their last 6.
This will be a tough test for the Buckeyes. Their opponents have a combined record of 52-21, a .712 winning percentage. Taking away Georgetown and they are 47-10 (.825). A split will be great. Anything above that and we should be thrilled.
GO LADY BUCKS!

Lady Bucks down Georgetown
The middle of Ohio State's order -- Alex Bayne, Cammi Prantl and Leonard -- combined to go eight-for-12 with three RBI and four runs scored as the Buckeyes broke open a close game with five runs over the final three innings to earn a 8-4 victory in their second game on Friday.
Leonard, White and Emily Clark each drove in two runs while the combination of Morgan Ray and Hursh struck out eight Hoyas over seven innings. A three-run sixth inning was keyed by White's two-run double to straightaway center and a RBI single from Leonard. That made the score 7-3 and Ohio State never looked back from there.

Nebraska slips by OSU
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Ohio State held a two-run lead against No. 23 Nebraska for much of the game but gave up three late runs in the sixth inning in a 5-4 loss to the Huskers on Saturday at Farrington Stadium on the campus of Arizona State University.
HOW THE BUCKEYE RUNS WERE SCORED
The Buckeyes (10-6) took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning via back-to-back solo home runs. The shots came off the bats of seniors Cammi Prantl and Erika Leonard and landed in almost the exact same spots -- straightaway center field.
