The Columbus Dispatch
There might have some people disappointed that a cold, hard rain wiped out the second game of the Purdue-Ohio State baseball doubleheader yesterday.

Don't count Buckeyes players among them.
After losing 8-0 to Purdue, OSU players fled Bill Davis Stadium as if it were a jailbreak. They needed time to regroup.
For the second straight day, the Boilermakers looked every bit like the second-best team in the Big Ten, making diving, running and leaping defensive plays and hitting the long ball.
"There's a reason they're in second place," Ohio State coach Bob Todd said.
Purdue (19-16, 11-3), which trails only Michigan in the conference standings, scored five runs in the third inning off Dan DeLucia.
