The Buckeyes’ series against Purdue didn’t start the way they wanted, but it certainly ended the way Allison Smith wanted it to. After a loss on Friday, they bounced back to win the next two games, including a five-inning no-hitter thrown by Smith to cap off the weekend and improve to 30-15 on the season.
Game 1
Ohio State had a promising start in its first game, but a grand slam is ultimately what led to its defeat. Smith started this game as well, and was cruising through the first three innings. Then her offense backed her up in the bottom of the third as Kami Kortokrax hit a three-run home run, her seventh of the season, to put the Buckeyes up.
