There was no second game of the weekend three-game series because, surprise, in the middle of winter even the desert Southwest was too cold, too wet, and too windy.
Las Vegas and another weekend of showcase college baseball, we turn our attention to readers' response to last week's 4-4, and..."what happens if they're really good this year?"
Starter Landon Beidelschies (above) carried a no-hitter in the fifth inning, they got enough offense, and lock-tight defense raised the Buckeyes past .500 with a Friday night win in the desert over Cal Berkeley.
Is Jake Diebler showing off or is Ohio State on an inexplicable roll? Seems both are true, after the Buckeyes...who won without Jamison Battle on Sunday...took down Nebraska without Bruce Thornton.
Preparing to play three-more offensively-blessed baseball teams in this weekend's Las Vegas Invitational, the Buckeyes should benefit from the reality of light air in the desert...and the percentages that better pitching usually beats good hitting.
