The Miami Redhawks beat up the Ohio State baseball Buckeyes tonight behind the stellar pitching of righty Ryan Meyers, who pitched a five-inning, two-hit, no earned runs gem to secure the win in his first start of the season.
The Buckeyes were unable to manufacture any offensive consistency, netting only three hits and two runs, both scored by CF Tim Wetzel, before plating two runs in the bottom of the 9th inning, after the game was far out of reach.
The Buckeyes' offense struggled without the bat of 2B Ryan Cypret, the team's leader in batting average hitting .393 on the year. Cypret was nursing a cut on his hand, suffered in a collision with a member of the Columbus Clippers in the two teams' scrimmage on Tuesday.
The Redhawks jumped out on the Buckeyes early, with five runs in the first six innings, including a four run 2nd inning that featured a solo HR by SS Brad Gshwind and a two-run blast from LF Marcus Makuch.
Ohio State starter John Kuchno was chased after three innings after yielding four hits and five runs, four of them earned, in 64 pitches. The loss dropped Kuchno's record to 0-3 for the year.
The loss drops the Buckeyes to 10-12 on the year.
Ohio State resumes Big Ten play with a three-game series beginning Friday against the Indiana Hoosiers this weekend in Bloomington, In.
