Buckeyes Undefeated after First Weekend of Play
By John Porentas
OSU opened the baseball season with three wins last weekend for their first 3-0 start since the 2002 season.
The Buckeyes traveled to Milllington, Tennessee to participate in the Armed Services Academies Classic. They opened the season with a 7-3 win over Arkansas State, then posted a 1-0 win over Memphis before closing out the weekend with a 6-5 win over Seton Hall.
OSU pitching was very effective all weekend. No OSU starter went less than four innings and the starters allowed just three earned runs in 14 combined innings of work. Relievers Dean Wolosianski, Alex Wimmers and Drew Rucinski combined to allow one earned run and one walk while striking out seven in 10 combined innings. Reliever Eric Best pitched two innings of scoreless and hitless ball. The OSU pitching staff has an ERA of 1.33 after one week of play.

J.B. Shuck named Big 10 Pitcher of the Week
Link
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio State junior pitcher/utility player J.B. Shuck has been selected as the Big Ten Conference’s initial 2008 Pitcher of the Week for his standout performance in Ohio State’s 1-0 win over Memphis Saturday in the Service Academies Spring Classic in Millington, Tenn. The honor marks the first time since 2000 that a Buckeye pitcher has been honored by the conference to open the season.
Shuck, from Galion, Ohio and Galion High School, earns the first Pitcher of the Week award of his career after recording a career-high nine strikeouts in six innings of work. He scattered just two hits and had only two walks in the effort against a Memphis team that made an appearance in the 2007 NCAA tournament. At one point he retired seven consecutive batters between the fourth and sixth innings and for the game allowed just one Tiger to reach third base

Buckeyes Still Looking for Relief Pitching as Home Season Opens
By John Porentas
The Ohio State baseball team will play its home opener today when the Pitt Panthers visit Bill Davis Stadium. The first pitch is scheduled for 2:00 PM.
The Buckeyes are currently 9-6. Pittsburgh comes to Columbus with a record of 6-11.
Typically OSU Head Coach Bob Todd uses the games before the home opener to look at the Buckeyes and determine what the strengths and weaknesses of his team will be in the upcoming season. This year was no exception, and after 15 games, Todd is still not sure just how good or bad his team is this year.
