Patriots Closer to Super Bowl As "Pop-up" Wins Semis
The Washington Huskies walked off the Ohio State Buckeyes for a 5-4 win on the second straight day to take the series.
Two wins for the Washington Huskies over the Ohio State Buckeyes, two walk-offs for coach Eddie Smith's team. As coach Eddie Smith's Huskies eeked out a 5-4 win for a second straight day to earn their second straight series victory over a Big Ten opponent after dropping the first game of the series on Friday, before bouncing back on Saturday and Sunday, there were plenty of similarities. However, it was the reigning conference Player of the Week , Colton Bower, who played hero on Sunday.
After he gave the Huskies a 4-2 lead in the bottom of the seventh inning with a run-scoring single, the designated hitter picked up the bullpen, which let the lead slip away, by adding a third run batted in to his 2-for-4 day with a ground ball to second base that drove in shortstop Sam DeCarlo, who was the other engine that drove Washington's offense on Sunday. DeCarlo also went 2-for-4 and added 2 RBIs, while he also scored a pair of runs as the Huskies' climb towards . 500 continued after they started the season 1-9.

Although he surrendered the lead, allowing 2 runs on 3 hits with a strikeout, he earned his first win of the season. Nick Sawyer took the loss for the Buckeyes after he was able to record just one out in the ninth inning, and allowed a pair of hits to go along with the walk-off. Washington improved to 8-11 on the year and 4-2 in Big Ten play with the win, and they'll return to the field at Husky Ballpark on Tuesday evening at 6:00 p.
