The Buckeyes are just the fourth Big Ten program to reach 2,500 wins.
Ohio State baseball reached a milestone in beating Northwestern, 5-2, on Saturday afternoon in Columbus. The win was No. 2,500 in program history, making the Buckeyes one of just four Big Ten clubs and 22 nationwide to reach that mark.
The victory also gave Ohio State its first in conference play this season and squared the series with the Wildcats. The Buckeyes are now 13-7-1 in 2016.
Starter Adam Niemeyer put in his third straight solid start for Ohio State. The redshirt sophomore right-hander scattered nine hits in his seven innings of work, allowing just two runs, striking out a career-high eight, and not issuing a walk.
