The official site has the game starting at 11am. oh well, either way a sweep in this first classic would be huge and a great way to start the season. I know that Seton Hall beat up on Memphis the other day so this could be a good test.

Is the game delayed? I can't get a link to Gametracker and first pitch should have been 20 minutes ago.

Baseball: Buckeyes Win Service Academies Spring Classic - The Ohio State Buckeyes Official Athletics Site - OhioStateBuckeyes.com

Quote:

MILLINGTON, Tenn. ? Junior captain Justin Miller drove home the winning run with an eighth-inning double ? his fourth double of the tournament ? that scored Tony Kennedy and enabled Ohio State to win the Service Academies Spring Classic Sunday with a 6-5 victory over Seton Hall. Miller, who started at three different infield positions during the tournament, was named tournament MVP as he collected six hits and four RBI. The Buckeyes are 3-0 for the first time in six years.

Game Notes and Good Stuff from the Classic:

Ryan Dew continues to make terrific plays in right field. He added another diving catch against Seton Hall and leads all outfielders with seven putouts.
Brian DeLucia (1.000; 5-for-5), Justin Miller (.500; 6-for-12 with four RBI) and J.B. Shuck (.400; 4-for-10) led the Buckeye hitters.
As a team, Ohio State hit .264 in the tournament.
Pitching was the story for Ohio State during this first weekend. The staff ERA after the first three games is 1.33.
Each of Ohio State?s three starters lasted at least four innings and they combined to allow just three earned runs in 14.0 innings.
Freshmen relievers Dean Wolosianski, Alex Wimmers and Drew Rucinski combined to pitch 10.0 innings and only gave up one earned run and one walk while striking out seven. Sophomore Eric Best pitched 2.0 innings of no-hit, no-run relief.
Ohio State has started out 3-0 only four times under coach Bob Todd: 2008, 2002, 1997 and 1991. Perhaps this universal starting date is already working.

Gotta' love how well the pen performed this weekend. . Its been a long time since we got this kinda quality work from our bullpen.

Kinda surprised Jake Hale didnt pitch, though

Also, i would have never believed we would have 2 HR's through 3 games. I thought we would struggle to hit 10 this season.

other things from this weekend..

-Michigan can really rake..they are gonna be tough to stop. They scored 47 runs in a 3 game sweep of Villanova
-PSU lost 2 of 3 vs High Point. I never saw that coming.
-Northern Colorado swept a DH from Texas A&M..not good for our strength of schedule.
-Minnesota got absolutely destroyed in a 3 game series vs Ole Miss(outscored 45-10). I thought Minnie would make a better showing.
-Purdue lost 3 one-run games in Waco vs a good Baylor team
-Northwestern won 2 of 3 games at CS Northridge...wow!
-Indiana stole a game in Baton rouge vs LSU. Sorry, Nutriaitch!
-MSU played well this weekend beating Stetson & UConn before losing a slugfest to Missouri
-Illinois and Iowa had losing weekends, but they were competitive vs solid competition.
Other than PSU & Minnie, the B10 as a whole played pretty well this weekend.

-Arkansas swept a 3 game set vs Wright St.

Arkansas and A&M are coming up this coming weekend, but dont overlook La Tech.
Tech took 3 from McNeese State this weekend by a combined score of 44-6. They hit 10 HR's!

yea I was wondering why he didint pitch too

It was nice to see some of the Freshmen pitchers get in and do well while gaining some experience though

starting out 3-0 is great for the teams confidence, next weekend will be a true test though
