BASE: OSU/BGSU Baseball Game Cancelled
Courtesy: OhioStateBuckeyes.com
Release: 04/21/2009

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio State University officials have cancelled the scheduled Tuesday evening (April 21) baseball game between Ohio State and Bowling Green State University because of the threat of persistent rain throughout the evening.

A decision was made at 2 p.m. this afternoon so the Bowling Green team would not have to travel the two hours to Columbus only to not play or to start a game that would have to be suspended due to inclement weather. No makeup date was set.

This is the first time this season Ohio State has lost a game because of the weather. Bowling Green has now had seven games cancelled because of snow, wet grounds or rain.

Both teams have Wednesday games scheduled. Ohio State hosts Ball State at 6:35 p.m. at Bill Davis Stadium. Bowling Green plays at Toledo in a 3 p.m. game.

UPDATE:

OSU softball: Finished the season 42-9 & 14-4 in the Big 10. That is good for 2nd in the Big 10(You guessed it - UM finished 1st).

OSU will now wait and see what seed they get in the 64 team tourney.

This is also the 3rd most win is a single season for a OSU Softball team!

UPDATE:
Softball
No. 11 Ohio State will play host to an NCAA regional Thurday-Saturday. The Buckeyes will open against Canisius. Brigham Young and Kentucky will play in the other opener.



OSU baseball: They're in a huge series against Illinois(@ Illinois also). Coming into the series OSU was a game back of Illinois and .5 games back of Minnesota. Game 1 - OSU was up by 2 going into the bottom of the 9th after a great pitching game from the "ace" Wimmers. Errors by the 3rd and 2nd baseman cost them the game. 3 unearn runs scored and OSU lost 5-4. OSU then won game 2 10-7. Game 3 is today at 2:20PM.

Here are the mens standings(UPDATED):
Minnesota 15-5B10(33-14 overall)
Ohio State 15-6B10(36-14overall)
Illinois 15-6 B10(32-16 overall)


Buckeyes have 5games left and 4 BIg 10 games. Big 10 games are 1 @ Illinois and then 3 against Iowa @ home(Iowa is last in the B10).

Illinois has 4 Big 10 games left also. One against us and 3 against Purdue(Purdue 6th in B10 and it's @ Purdue).

Minnesota has 4 Big 10 games left. One against Michigan(@um) and then 3 against Penn State(@psu). Penn State is 8th in the B10.

So Buckeyes need to take care of business and hope for a little bit of help and can win the Big 10 regular season.

Bucks won game 3 vs Illinois!! Now tied with them for 2nd place and only 1/2gb from Minnesota.

OSU's baseball team could be the favorite of their region depending on how seeding and placement goes. I have all but given up on my Canes, they are simply too young and the offense is way too inconsistent.

They miss quite a few guys in the lineup, plus losing four pitchers to the draft did not help either. They should have won it last year, but CBB is a funny game, have to be hot at the right time.

Cincy: Remember when you ask me about Wimmers and if he is a top prospect? Still not sure but here some new news about him:

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Alex Wimmers was named today one of 15 national semifinalists for the College Baseball Foundation’s National Pitcher of the Year Award.

The sophomore ace of Ohio State’s staff, from Cincinnati and Archbishop Moeller High School, is 8-1 this season with a 2.75 earned run average and an opponents’ batting average of just .194. He leads the Big Ten in ERA, opponents’ batting average and strikeouts with 110.

Wimmers has produced a season full of gems on the mound so far. Two weeks ago he threw the first nine-inning no-hitter in Ohio State history while striking out 14 Michigan Wolverines in a 6-0 Ohio State win. The effort was his sixth game of 10-or-more strikeouts and it earned him every weekly award – six total – including “Louisville Slugger” National Player of the Week (for the second time this season), College Baseball Foundation & Hall of Fame’s National All-Star Lineup (for the third time), National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Pro-Line Athletic Pitcher of the Week and USA Baseball’s Golden Spikes Spotlight Player of the Week.

Wimmers, who has been the Big Ten Conference pitcher of the week four times this season, has produced these notable games this season in addition to his no-hitter:



ALSO:
Coming into today's game they are 1/2 game back of Minnnesota and tied with Illinois. 3 games left.

Game 1 Ohio State vs Iowa tonight:
OSU - up 13-0 in the top of the 9th
OSU ace Wimmers pitch - 6IP 5H 2BB 12SO 113pitches - Will improve to 9-1 this year!

Game 1 Illinois vs Purdue
Purdue won 12-5!!!

That means OSU is 1 game ahead of Illinois. Minnesota is playing Penn State right now but I can't find a score update. IF Minnesota loses one game to Penn State, all OSU has to do is win the next 2 vs Iowa and they would win the B10. Iowa is last in the Big also.

Actually I just found the Minnesota vs Penn State game score for tonight. Minnesota is up against Penn State in game 1 of 3 with a score of 6-5 and PSU is batting in the 7th. Like I said Penn State wins, OSU is first in the B10.

More stuff:

Ohio State softball team played their first game today in the NCAA Regional and won 3-0 over Canisius!!!

Also Penn State tied the game 6-6 with Minnesota on a wild pitch in the bottom of the 7th. GO PENN STATE!!

CINCY: Another question. I just started to follow OSU baseball & softball. How does the tourney work? Is it double elimination?

Thanks Bro.

Minnesota scored on a error in the 8th inning and wins 7-6. OSU ended up giving up 4 runs in the 9th but won 13-4. Wimmers now 9-1. So Bucks still a 1/2 game back. 2 games each. Minnesota @ Penn State, OSU vs Iowa. Illinois 1GM from OSU and 1 1/2 from Minny.




Rivals prediction of the NCAA tourney:
rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/baseball/news;_ylt=Aghh71y0Qh3wbulOzbWf8twMwLYF?slug=kr-regionalprojections051309

OSU & Miami Florida are each projected as a #2 seed.

[victor2111]

UPDATE: Baseball
OSU swept Iowa and finished the season 39-15 & 17-6 in the B10. They need Minnesota to lose to Penn State to win the B10.

Minny up 8-5 in the top of the 5th..Bucks till have the Big 10 tourney and NCAA tourney!!

Softball:
OSU softball won today and are 3-0 in the NCAA tourney which means they will advance to the super regionals. I think this if the first time ever they advance on in the NCAA tourney.
