Atlanta, Ga. – Day one of the Georgia State Softball Classic proved to be a good one for the Ohio State Buckeyes (4-5 overall). Three games in the span of nine hours culminated with a 3-1 win over host school Georgia State. The victory gives OSU a season high three-game winning and vaulted them into first place going into the final day of tournament.
The Buckeyes got on board in the top of the second inning. With one out, Holly English (So., Akron, Ohio) walked and stole second base. She would score two batters later off a wild pitch by GSU starter Jaci Davis. The next inning, OSU added another run when Jaime Chenevey (Sr., Wooster, Ohio) doubled and scored when Renae Weigel (Jr., Coldwater, Ohio) hit into a fielders choice.
The Chenevey and Weigel combo connected again in the top of the fifth inning to give OSU a 3-0 lead. With one out, Chenevey singled and scored two batters later off a Weigel single. Chenevey finished the game going 3-for-4. Weigel finished the game going 1-for-3 with two runs batted in.
Inside the circle, Meaghan Robinson (Sr., Naples, Fla.) improved her record to 2-3 on the season. She pitched a complete game, five hitter, giving up only one run and striking out five.
The Buckeyes will conclude the tournament tomorrow with games against Tennessee Tech at 9 a.m. and Kentucky at 11 a.m. OSU now controls its own destiny to the tournament championship.
