OSU BB: Season Underway

The Buckeyes beat James Madison 8-6 today in the first game of the Buckeye Baseball Classic. Dan DeLucia was solid...6 IP, 3 R, 0 W, 6K

True freshman Theron Minium had some control issues, walking 2 and hitting one, and he gave up 3 runs in 1 1/3, but Rory Meister got the save with 1 2/3 scoreless IP, 1 walk, 2 Ks.

Just about everyone was in on the act offensively...Angle 2-4 with a walk, Howell 2-5, Fryer 2-4 with a walk, Shuck 1-4, Miller 2-3 with a walk, Dew 1-4 with a 3 run double, Zoeller 0-3 with a sac fly, Kennedy 3-4, Rupert 0-2 with 2 sac bunts.

It was interesting to see Dew starting in RF and batting 6th and Kennedy getting the nod at third. Tomorrow the Bucks have a doubleheader versus Kansas State; Corey Luebke and Josh Barerra will get the starts.
