Ohio State Evens Series with Saturday Win

The Valparaiso University baseball team hit back-to-back home runs in the top of the seventh, but fell 15-4 in eight innings on Saturday afternoon at Ohio State.
 
How It Happened
  • Ohio State scored the game's first six runs, tallying one in the first, two in the second and two on a two-run homer in the third before adding another in the fourth.
  • Valpo got back in the game in the seventh inning when Austin Amburgey (Miamisburg, Ohio / Miamisburg) and Connor Giusti (Hoffman Estates, Ill. / Fremd) connected on back-to-back jacks. There were two ducks on the pond for Amburgey's homer, so that cut the Buckeye edge to 6-4.
  • Ohio State responded in the bottom of the seventh, scoring six times before clinching the run rule with three in the bottom of the eighth.  
Inside the Game
  • Amburgey's home run was his first in a Valpo uniform, while Giusti had his eighth total and first this season.
  • Ohio State held a 12-5 edge in the hit column.
  • Amburgey had Valpo's lone multi-hit game.
 
Up Next
Valpo (3-7) and Ohio State will do it again on Saturday with a noon CT / 1 p.m. ET first pitch in Columbus, Ohio. The game will be streamed on B1G+.
