Recap | Box Score
– Ohio State out-hit LIU 9-4 and was errorless in the field.
– The Buckeyes are now 4-2 at the USF adidas Invitational this weekend and will play their seventh, and possibly eighth, games of the weekend Sunday. The last time Ohio State played more than five games in one weekend was at the 2005 Buzz Classic in Marietta, Ga., when the Buckeyes played seven and went 6-1, falling to Iowa in the Classic title game.
– Buckeyes at the plate: Junior Brittany Vanderink and freshman Sam Marder extended their current hitting streaks to five games each … Marder had two RBIs in the game, giving her a team-best 21 already this season. The OSU freshman RBI record is held by Jamee Juarez with 36 in 2004.
– Buckeyes in the circle: Freshman Megan Miller got her second collegiate start Saturday night. In both her starts, the Buckeyes won but Miller did not get the decision.
– Buckeyes in the field: Defensive highlights were turned in Nycole Koyano at shortstop and Brittany Vanderink at second with snags of line drives and centerfielder Liz Caputo, who ran down a fly ball in the gap to end LIU’s scoring threat in the top of the eighth inning.
– Weather: Clear and 71 degrees at first pitch. Wind 0 to 5 MPH out to right field.
– Ohio State is now 2-0 all-time against Long Island. These teams first met in Palm Springs, Calif., in 2005, with Ohio State winning 11-2. – Long Island has made five NCAA tournament appearances, including last season when the Blackbirds went 34-23 and 17-3 in the Northeast Conference to tie for first. LIU is current on a 12-day, 14-game trip in the Tampa area.
