Ohio State’s softball season ended in a disappointing manner on Saturday, as they fell to the Longwood Lancers 3-1 in the first elimination game of the NCAA tournament’s Knoxville, TN regional. Having lost to USC Upstate on Friday, the Buckeyes would have needed to beat the Lancers to keep their season alive. However, for the second straight game, the team’s bats weren’t consistent enough to maintain their regular season scoring prowess.
Longwood pitcher Sydney Gay dominated the Buckeyes from start to finish, allowing only four hits and giving up OSU’s only run of the game with two outs in the seventh.
