Ohio State softball gets win over in-state foe Dayton

The Ohio State softball team had a midweek contest on Wednesday against in-state foe Dayton, and came away victorious by a 6-2 score in its home opener.

It didn’t take long for the Buckeyes to get on the board. Kami Kortokrax singled home the first run in the bottom of the first inning to give OSU the early 1-0 lead. Ohio State would add two more runs in the bottom of the second inning on a McKenzie Bump RBI single, followed by a two-out single by Jasmyn Burns that brought Bump around to score.

OSU would add three more runs in the bottom of the third inning and that would be more than enough with starting pitcher Allison Smith tossing 3.2 shutout innings on just one hit. She notched her fourth win of the season with the effort that improved Ohio State’s record to 18-10.

Next up, the Bucks will open up Big Ten play when they host the Northwestern Wildcats for a three game series this weekend.
