Toledo Drops Midweek Contest at Ohio State, 9-4

Columbus, Ohio— The Toledo baseball team visited the Ohio State Buckeyes on Wednesday night and left Columbus on the wrong end of a 9-4 decision.

After OSU scored two quick runs in the first, the Rockets tied the game at 2-2 in the top of the second. The Buckeyes, however, rattled off seven unanswered runs to take a commanding lead that Toledo was unable to overcome.

Senior Brad Boss, freshmen Frank Ciacchi and Mark Mohnickey all recorded two hits at the plate, marking the first multi-hit effort for the two rookies. Ciacchi also walked once and scored twice.

The Rockets used eight pitchers on Wednesday night, with senior Axel Bueter leading the way at 1.2 innings pitched. Sophomore Kyle Bischoff threw a terrific seventh inning, striking out the side with ease. Junior Austin Calopietro also tallied three strikeouts on the night. Freshman Jamie Myers started the game on the mound and UT saw action from fellow freshmen Kyle Jones and Aric McAtee, as well as seniors Chris Hampton and Jake Stout.

Toledo will host Western Michigan this weekend, with the series beginning on Friday afternoon. First pitch for that contest is scheduled for 3:05 p.m. at Scott Park.

How it Happened

  • OSU tacked on another run in the bottom of the third to take a 7-2 lead over the Rockets.
  • The second home run of the night for the Buckeyes put Toledo in a 9-2 hole in the bottom of the fifth.
  • Freshman Ryan Thompson drove in a run in the top of the sixth to make it 9-3. His single to left field allowed Ciacchi to score from second.
  • Bischoff had the best performance by a Rocket pitcher on the night, striking out the side in the bottom of the seventh when he faced OSU's 9-1-2 hitters.
  • Sophomore John Servello added the final run of the game in the top of the ninth on an RBI groundout that brought home sophomore Zach Schwartzenberger.
