This past weekend was a sneak peek at the new-look Buckeye softball team in the 22nd annual Ohio Collegiate Charity Classic. The Ohio Collegiate Charity Classic has raised over $250,000, making it one of the largest fundraisers for Breast Cancer Awareness Month in Central Ohio. There were 10 games played between 10 different schools, and Ohio State won all three games it played in.
The Buckeyes return five starters and all five pitchers from last year’s squad, including two All-Big Ten performers in Sam Hackenbracht and Kami Kortokrax.
Their first game of the weekend came against Division II Tiffin; sophomore pitcher Lexi Paulsen got the start and ended up throwing a complete game, two-hit shutout.
