COLUMBUS, Ohio – All’s well that ends well for Ohio State as the Buckeyes came away with a 13-10 victory in a wild series opener with Northwestern on Friday evening at Bill Davis Stadium.
Nothing was right at the beginning of the night for the Buckeyes (21-19). It was gray, overcast, breezy, rainy and temperatures were in the low 50s on May 28. Oh, and Northwestern scored five times in the top of the first. But Ohio State got a two-homer game from shortstop Zach Dezenzo and a great outing in relief from Will Pfennig that helped right the ship and allow for the Buckeyes’ comeback.
