Ohio State baseball drops Big Ten Tournament opener to Washington
Ohio State baseball lost its Big Ten opener to Washington after an error in the ninth led to a two-RBI triple. The Buckeyes now face Rutgers.
Ohio State, the No. 6 seed, was upset by No. 11-seed Washington in the opening round of the Big Ten baseball tournament on May 19 in Omaha, Nebraska.
Tied 6-6 in the top of the ninth inning with two outs and two runners on, Ohio State pitcher Lincoln McVicker forced Washington's Mic Paul to hit a pop fly behind home plate, but OSU catcher Mason Eckelman was unable to hold on to the ball. One pitch after the error, Paul tripled, scoring both runners. Oh no...
