In an eerily similar performance to OSU's other games against the Ducks, sloppy play and a few missed pitches result in the L.
The game started with a scare for OSU starter Sam Tweedt, allowing a leadoff single and then a one out double to Duck third baseman Mitchell Tolman to get runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out. Tweedt came through however, striking out the clean-up hitter Craig St. Louis and then getting a flyout to escape the jam. He had a solid day not earning many strikeouts, but he was able to get weak contact and the defense played well while he was on the mound.
