OHIO STATE CLAIMS SERIES WIN OVER NO. 24 MICHIGAN SATURDAY

COLUMBUS, Ohio – In front of an electric crowd of 4,841 fans at Nick Swisher Field at Bill Davis Stadium, the Ohio State baseball team claimed a series win over No. 24 Michigan Saturday with a doubleheader split vs. the Wolverines. The Buckeyes (20-17, 4-5 B1G) won game one, 10-4, while the Wolverines (24-11, 5-3 B1G) took game two of the twinbill, 6-2. The crowd on hand today at Bill Davis Stadium was one of the largest in 15 years.

QUOTE FROM COACH
“We’re disappointed we didn’t win game three,” head coach Greg Beals said. “I thought we played really clean and really tough those first two games and we weren’t clean there in game three. We had some unearned runs and if we can eliminate those unearned runs, it would keep the game tighter and give us some more offensive options, but that wasn’t the case. At the end of the day, we won the series and we won the rivalry. The thing for me and the thing for our ball club to take away is how we went about it and the energy and focus we had. Our guys were locked in. They’re exhausted right now. Starting with the come from behind victory on the road and into this weekend, hopefully we learned a lot about ourselves and there’s a lot to build on.”

He extended his career-high reached base streak to 33 games and now leads the Scarlet and Gray in average (.360), slugging (.620) and on-base percentage (.446).

BATS IGNITE FOR BIG LEAD EARLY

Zach Dezenzo blasted a 0-2 pitch to dead center in the bottom of the second. In the third, Canzone roped a ball off the scoreboard for a solo homer to make it 3-0. Cherry then ripped a liner to left and it took a tough hop off the UM right fielder for a RBI triple. The big hit in the inning came when Winand launched a 1-0 pitch over the right field wall for a three-run homer. It was his first career home run for the fifth-year senior captain......
