The Ohio State baseball team got a big 7-4 win against No. 25 Michigan, but couldn’t replicate the same success Saturday, losing in Ann Arbor 7-0.
The Buckeyes were befuddled and bedazzled by starting Wolverines’ pitcher Cameron Weston. He went 6.2 innings, scattering five hits and striking out five to get the win and improve to 4-1. He hurled just 101 pitches and outdueled OSU ace, lefty Seth Lonsway.
While the Buckeyes couldn’t muster much offense, the Wolverines were able to produce seven runs on nine hits, scoring one run in the 2nd inning, three in the 4th, two in the 6th, and one more in the 7th.
“We weren’t able to control their run game today,” Ohio State coach Greg Beals said. “There were a couple of situations where we had them and yet we didn’t execute. I give Michigan credit as they had a game plan against Seth and executed it. They were able to capitalize when they had guys on base and we weren’t able to.”
