The Buckeyes beat Michigan, the weather, and the demons of another Big Ten Tournament meltdown to keep their NCAA hopes alive.
After a heartbreaking late game meltdown against Iowa yesterday, Ohio State baseball could have simply folded up and ended their season. With memories of other Big Ten Tournament collapses still fresh in their minds, and after yet another rain delay postponed a promising start, an Ohio State loss would have been understandable.
But the Buckeyes didn't let any of those things get to them. Instead, their bats rallied, and they scored early and often, clobbering Michigan 11-4, giving their computer profile yet another RPI boost, and keeping their NCAA Tournament hopes, and Big Ten Tournament championship hopes, alive.
