After a slow start to conference play, the Ohio State baseball team won back-to-back Big Ten series against Michigan and Maryland to put themselves right back of the thick of things in the standings. The Buckeyes could not keep the momentum going, however, as they lost two of three against Iowa this weekend in Columbus. Let’s take a look at how things played out in this three-game series against the Hawkeyes.
Game 1
Pitching took center stage in the series opener on Friday, as both teams’ starters went deep into the game. Ohio State ace Garrett Burhenn gave the Bucks eight strong innings, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks with seven strikeouts.
