Waiting on 4/11 VS PSU in Columbus. What's PSU's record now? Not too promising the last I seen. OSU with the edge and take both games, IMO.

Penn State is currently 5-23.

The Buckeyes opened up their weekend series at Northwestern today by getting blasted and losing, 10-2. OSU just couldn't ever seem to get a big inning going, as Shelby McCombs took the loss on the mound. However, McCombs did produce Ohio State's only two runs of the game on a two run home run.

They will look for a rebound, as they face off again tomorrow afternoon.

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

Like last season pitching is a very weak spot on his team.

Ohio State got back on track in a big way this weekend, concluding a 3-game series sweep against Michigan State in Columbus on Sunday, winning 6-5. Morgan Ray got the starting nod for the Buckeyes on the mound, but wasn't very effective, she made it into the fourth inning, without getting an out, and allowing 4 runs. Enter Shelby McCombs on the mound, with the Buckeyes trailing 4-1, she allowed 2 runs to score, one charge to her and one charged to Ray. She then proceeded to shut down the Spartans, while the Buckeyes went to work. OSU had a field day with Bridgette Rainey seemingly right after McCombs entered the game. Lilli Piper drove in one run in the fifth to inch closer. Emily Clark then blasted a three run home run later in the 5th to tie the game at 6-6. Then, in the 7th, Emily Clark drove a ball deep into the outfield for a sac fly and the Buckeyes clinched the win.
