Down six runs in the first inning, the Ohio State Buckeyes worked their way back from six down - twice - to wrap up their west coast road trip with a fortifying win over Cal State-Fullerton.
In a phrase, they pitched well enough to win. But the offense left for Fullerton a day early and the Buckeyes dropped game four of the Cal Poly series, 3-1.
Ohio State's weekend magic continued with a dominant win at Rutgers, giving the Buckeyes the momentum of a four-game winning streak entering the Big Ten Tournament later this week.
They gave up 14 runs in one inning Saturday...the long and the short of the Buckeyes' 19-2 loss in game two of the Cal Poly series. There's no explaining. Sometimes it just happens.
