Central Michigan Baseball Game (Official Thread)

[JCOSU86]

The Buckeyes end their first home stand of the season vs Central Michigan Weds. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 pm. The forecast is for rain, so I hope they can get one in.

Official Site Preview


COLUMBUS, Ohio - Ohio State closes out an 11-game homestand at 6:35 p.m. Wednesday at Bill Davis Stadium by hosting the Central Michigan Chippewas. The Buckeyes are 7-3 on the homestand after taking three of four from Minnesota last weekend and are 16-9 overall, 5-3 in the Big Ten Conference.
Central Michigan was 11-16 overall prior to hosting Illinois-Chicago Tuesday. That mark is deceiving. The Mid American Conference team struggled in the early going ? losing eight of nine games ? but has gone 10-8 since including a 7-3 win over Michigan last Wednesday. The Chippewas are 3-5 in the MAC.

Why would CMU want to pitch their closer 8 innings in a non conference game?

To save their starters? :-)
