MICHIGAN Series

[JCOSU86]

scUM visits Bill Davis this weekend to take on the Buckeyes in a critical 3 game series that will go a long way to determining the regular season Big 10 Champion. The Buckeyes are tied atop the Big 10 standings with Illinois at 11-4, with Indiana and Minnesota 1/2 game back at 10-4. The Wolverines are having a disappointing season in 2009. The defending Big 10 Champions are 6-9 in the Conference and 24-19 overall. The Buckeyes have only beaten Michigan 1 time since 2006, going 1-9 in that time period.

Baseball: Buckeyes serious about Michigan visit
Friday, May 1, 2009 2:52 AM

The sunny disposition that is Justin Miller's trademark suddenly turned cloudy and cold when the subject of Ohio State-Michigan baseball was broached.

The Buckeyes have dominated the Wolverines recently in football and basketball but have struggled on the diamond.

"We sure do know all about that, especially the seniors," said Miller, a senior first baseman. "They have had some great teams up there recently and we've been in the middle of the pack. We haven't been ourselves. We know we've got to change things."

Ohio State has been a Big Ten baseball power since 1991, but since 2003, Michigan has won all five series against the Buckeyes and 20 of the past 26 games.

That trend must stop this weekend if Ohio State (32-10, 11-4) is to remain in contention for its first regular-season conference championship since 2001.

The Buckeyes, who are tied for first place with Illinois, face the Wolverines in the first of three games tonight in Bill Davis Stadium.
"Michigan made a coaching change up there and was able to bring in some good local talent," Ohio State coach Bob Todd said.

let's take all three and call it a weekend

Assume that the 'records don't matter when OSU plays Michigan' applies to the diamond as well as the gridiron. By the standings, this looks like a critical series for the baseballers, and hope they sweep Meatchicken. 'Course, Michigan will want to 'spoil' things for the Buckeyes, but it seems like there is enough pitching to keep that from happening. Hope so.

Rip 'em up, tear 'em up, give them heck AHIA.

Yep. In order to try to avoid the jinx, I'll just say that TSUN has only had base-runners due to walks thus far.

tOSU now leads 5-0 in the bottom of the seventh.

In a scoreless game in the 6th, with the bases loaded for tOSU and 2 outs, the guy with the ugly catcher's helmet failed to catch a routine pop-up in foul territory, which allowed a 2-run hit. Buckeyes have extended the lead and knocked out the TSUN starter in the 7th.
