Through 13 innings, OSU hadn’t recorded a multi-run inning in the series against the Michigan.
Despite Michigan's 5.96 ERA, the Cowboys’ inning-by-inning damage had been minimal up to that point. Timely pitching and small ball was the story in Saturday’s series opener.
That changed midway through OSU’s 8-5 win against Michigan in Ann Arbor on Sunday morning, clinching a series sweep for the Cowboys.
OSU’s offense emulated the performance coach Josh Holliday preached about since the start of his team’s five-game skid three weeks ago. More fluency and all-around contributions paid dividends toward OSU's seventh consecutive win and second straight weekend series sweep.
