Nebraska even set a Big Ten Tournament record with 17 doubles in six games. The Huskers’ pitching staff recorded 56 strikeouts over six games in the tournament.

Niagara is 38-15 on the season and punched its ticket in with a MAAC Championship win. Oklahoma State, which won the Big 12 Championship, plays host in the Regional.

Ohio State baseball falls to Nebraska, season comes to an end

That’s a wrap for the Buckeyes in ‘24. #GoBucks

Although Ohio State baseball managed to knock off Nebraska during the opening round of the Big Ten Tournament, it wasn’t able to replicate that magic on Friday afternoon.

The Buckeyes once again allowed double-digit runs, as they fell to the Cornhuskers by a final score of 12-5. Nebraska jumped out a a 4-0 lead after the second inning, and although Ohio State got within two runs, 5-3, after the top of the fifth, the higher seed just continued to pile on the runs.

Ohio State’s season comes to an end, finishing with a 29-26 record, and will watch the postseason from home.

With the transfer portal and the MLB Draft upcoming, it remains to be seen who will return for the Buckeyes next year.

Ohio State baseball battles back but falls short to Indiana in Big Ten Tournament

It wasn’t the Buckeyes day this time. #GoBucks

Ohio State baseball was riding high entering its quarterfinal matchup against Indiana, but couldn’t find the magic it had in the opening round of the Big Ten Tournament.

The Buckeyes found themselves down 5-0 after two innings of play, but continued to battle and eventually tied the game after the fourth inning. It was all downhill from there for Ohio State, as the Hoosiers bats woke up again, scoring seven unanswered runs, winning 14-7.

Ohio State’s loss now puts in a win-or-go-home situation against No. 2 seeded Nebraska, that it beat in its opening game 15-2. The Buckeyes will need a similar performance to defeat the Huskers again tomorrow afternoon at 2 p.m. ET.

The loss puts the Buckeyes season record at 29-25. They will need two more wins to make it to the conference title game.

Huskers blown out 15-2 by Ohio State in Big Ten Tournament’s Opening Round

The Nebraska baseball started the post-season at the Big Ten Tournament in Omaha on Tuesday night.

The Nebraska baseball started the post-season at the Big Ten Tournament in Omaha on Tuesday night. Rain and flooding delayed the No. 2 Huskers’ opening-round showdown with No. 7 Ohio State by six hours. However, the delay paled in comparison as Nebraska fell in a devasting 15-2 seven-inning loss.

The Buckeyes delivered 15 hits for 15 RBIs on the night, most of which occurred in the fourth. Ohio State nailed seven hits for eight RBIs to go from a 3-0 lead to an 11-0 one. In the loss, Nebraska sent five pitchers to the mound, which tallied up just ten strikeouts, five groundouts, and four flyouts across 42 batters.

The Buckeyes meanwhile put three pitchers on the mound and threw 11 strikeouts while surrendering just four hits and two runs. Josh Caron delivered one of the Huskers’ RBIs, nailing a solo home run in the fourth. Dylan Carey added to Nebraska’s score by earning an RBI single in the sixth.

But Ohio State’s surge ended up being the Huskers’ downfall. They now must fight to stay alive in the Big Ten Tournament. Nebraska will continue action against Purdue on Wednesday night.

The winner will advance to face the loser of Indiana v. Ohio State on Friday night. The first pitch between Nebraska and Purdue is set for 7 p.m. and can be viewed on the Big Ten Network.

Ohio State baseball makes its return to the Big Ten Tournament

The 5-year drought is over for the Buckeyes. #GoBucks

Although Ohio State baseball didn’t complete a sweep of Rutgers, it was still enough for the Buckeyes to punch a ticket to the Big Ten Tournament.

The five-year drought of not competing for an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament has ended, as the Buckeyes last made the tournament in 2019. With a 28-24 record, the only way that Ohio State will be able to continue playing after this week will be to win it all.

The conference championship will be played in Omaha, the same city the NCAA College World Series takes place. It is a stretch that Ohio State will make it back there after this week, but there is still plenty to play for.

USA TODAY SMG

The Buckeyes will face-off against the host ‘Huskers on Tuesday at 2 p.m. CT, in the second game of the day. It is a double-elimination tournament, which means that even if Ohio State falls during its first game, there is still hope.
