Nine games are all that remain of the Big Ten schedule for the Ohio State baseball team. Nine chances to defy what have become nearly impossible odds to secure a berth in the conference tournament at season’s end. At 5-10 in Big Ten play, the Buckeyes sit in a tie for 11th in the standings, but just two games behind the eight spot needed to reach the postseason.
It will not be easy, as Ohio State will spend the next two weekends on the road against Michigan and Iowa teams that are currently tied for third in the conference.
