Buckeyes defeat Marist
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Ohio State defeated Marist, 6-4, in an NCAA Tallahassee Regional elimination game behind key hits from Michael Arp and Ryan Dew and flawless work out of the bullpen. The Buckeyes, now 41-18 on the season, play at noon Sunday against Georgia, an 8-2 loser Saturday to Florida State.
"I think the key today was our playing good defense," Ohio State coach Bob Todd said. "We didn?t give them any second opportunities with zero errors and three double plays. So we win and get to play another day."
Senior closer Jake Hale extended his single season saves record by pitching 2.0 shutdown innings for his 17th save this season and he set a new Ohio State career mark with his 28th career save.
