The Seton Hall baseball team was swept by Ohio State in the Pirates’ opening series of the season with a 5-3 loss on Sunday afternoon in Port Charlotte, Fla.
The Buckeyes’ jumped on Seton Hall’s starter, Tyler Burnham, early on as he surrendered three runs in one-third of the first inning. Kobie Foppe scored on a double to left-center by Connor Pohl which advanced Dominic Canzone to third. Canzone would eventually score on a one-out single to center by Zach Dezenzo and Pohl scored the third run of the inning on a sacrifice fly.
Brennan O’Neill entered the game following Burnham and also struggled with location and gave up a two-run homerun to Canzone in the bottom of the second.
