On senior day at Bill Davis Stadium in Columbus on Saturday, the Ohio State baseball team recognized five players (Jalen Washington, Shea Murray, Zach Ratcliff, Jake Post, and Joe Stoll) who were putting the finishing touches on their careers in scarlet and gray. The Buckeyes ended the year with a 4-3 loss to Indiana, but showed grit and tenacity to the last out.
In his final collegiate at-bat, Washington, the team’s co-captain the past two seasons, went out with a bang. His two-run home run in the bottom of the eighth closed the deficit to just one.
Ohio State put the tying run in scoring position later in the eighth, and again in the ninth, but as was so often the case this season, struggled to come up with a key hit when one was needed.
