After a weekend to forget in which it suffered walk-off losses in three straight games to Xavier, the Ohio State baseball team got some home cooking against a scuffling Youngstown State team at Bill Davis Stadium in Columbus. It wasn’t the prettiest game, but the Buckeyes pounded out a 12-8 win over the Penguins.
Headed to the ninth inning with a commanding 12-7 lead, it was hard not to think of Ohio State’s late-inning implosions of late. But it was not to be this time, though righty Seth Kinker did yield a solo home run to YSU’s Andrew Kendrick.
