Well this was a turnaround of a weekend after last weekend's dud. After getting swept by Georgetown, Ohio State had scheduled a game against Kent State in the midweek that was postponed due to rain before opening conference action against skidding Purdon'tGame 1 on Friday was relatively light work for the BaseBucks. Purdue did get off to a 2-0 lead in the T1, but Ohio State got one back in the B1 thanks to an RBI single by Tyler Pettorini to score Trey Lipsey.
But Ohio State didn't lay over and die. True to the Buckeye mantra, they just kept chipping away and fought to the very end. On the second pitch of the B3, Graveline would blast a home run to cut the deficit to 7-4. Then in the B4, with two outs of their own, an RBI double by Graveline to score Kaczmar, an RBI triple by Pettorini to score Graveline, and an RBI triple by Mershon to score Pettorini cut the Purdue lead to 8-7.
Needing some late game magic, closing pitcher Jacob Morin made quick work of the Boilermaker batters, going 3 up 3 down in the T9 to give the Buckeyes a chance to win. In the B9, Ohio State got Hank Thomas on 1st and Mitchell Okuley on 3rd with 1 out. Two batters later, Trey Lipsey played hero as he launched the second pitch against him to left field in a walk-off 3-run home run to give the Buckeyes the 12-10 series clinching comeback win.
