The Buckeyes in a Nutshell
Ohio State returns home after taking two of three games from Minnesota, claiming its third conference series win. The Buckeyes put up 20 runs over the course of three games on the back of five home runs. The weekend brought Ohio State's home run total to 76, which trails only UCLA in the Big Ten. The Buckeyes are also hitting .310 as a group, which is eighth best among conference competition.
A three hit, three run weekend propelled Sami Bewick to the leading batting average on the Ohio State squad. Bewick is now swinging .364. Hadley Parisien collected four hits and two home runs in the road trip, bringing her average to .405 and her team-leading home run total to 15. Though Parisien has not technically played 75% of this season's games, she leads the Ohio State offense in average, home runs, OPS, slugging, and is tied with Taylor Cruse for the most RBI. Skylar Limon also extended her hitting streak to four games, now hitting .351 on the year, which ranks third best among Buckeye hitters.
Jenna Molk started each game for the Buckeyes in the circle, improving to 14-11 on the season. Molk is also the only Buckeye with a sub 3.00 ERA at a mark of 2.84. Molk has not allowed more than one earned run in the last eight games. Her 14 wins are tied for fourth-most among Big Ten pitchers, as she leads that group in innings pitched with 123.1.
On the Flyers
Dayton comes to Columbus 17-14, with an 8-7 record in the Atlantic 10 conference. Dayton has losses at the hands of Cal and Michigan State, two squads that the Buckeyes have faced and defeated earlier this season.

Izzy Kemp leads the Dayton pitching stable, picking up 11 of the team's 17 wins. Kemp's standout 1.53 ERA, win total, and 180 strikeouts each lead the Atlantic 10 conference.
