The Ohio State baseball team had an opportunity to take a road series against Arizona State on Sunday afternoon, but it ended up falling short.
The Buckeyes won on Thursday, 11-4, lost on Friday, 14-4 and won on Saturday, 13-4, giving them a chance at winning the series on Sunday. The high scoring contest went the favor of the Sun Devils, as they put up 10 runs to Ohio State’s eight.
The loss puts the Buckeyes at even on the year, 4-4, and now they will have a break until Friday when they hit the road again to take on three different teams in the Las Vegas College Baseball Classic.
