Three errors leading to three unearned runs proved to be Ohio State's undoing on Saturday at the Snowbird Classic as the team fell to Illinois State, 5-4. The Buckeyes are now 6-3-1 on the season, with one game remaining in Port Charlotte, Florida this weekend.
Junior co-captain Jalen Washington had a nice showing, going 4-for-4 at the plate with a pair of runs batted in. Sophomore starting pitcher Adam Neimeyer also overcame a sluggish start to deliver a quality performance, but miscues in the field could not be overcome.
Just as happened in Friday's game against Seton Hall, Ohio State fell behind in the top of the first inning.
