The record won’t stop skipping and the games just won’t stop slipping for Ohio State baseball. Low quality at-bats, baserunning mistakes, and a lack of execution in the field and on the mound spelled defeat for the Buckeyes once again, this time by a 9-5 score to Iowa.
Despite notching 12 hits and a three-run comeback attempt in the ninth, Ohio State struck out 11 times, went 2-for-8 with runners in scoring position, left nine runners on base, had a runner picked off, uncorked two wild pitches, balked once, and committed three errors en route to falling to 6-13 in Big Ten play.
