SPORTS THE BATTALION Page7 Buckeyes rally to defeat Aggies, 8-7 GUY ROGERS/The Battalion Texas A&M sophomore catcher Brent Howell gets thrown out in an attempt to steal second base against Ohio State on Sunday. Ohio State rallied to win 8-7 over the Aggies. BY DOUG SHILLING The Battalion The Texas A&M baseball team end ed the second day of competition at the Texas A&M Continental Express Base ball Classic in third place after the Ohio State University Buckeyes posted an 8- 7, come-from-behind win over the Ag gies last night at Olsen Field. The loss drops the Aggies’ record to 13- 14 on the year, and 1 -3 in the tournament. Ohio State improves to 12-4 and is tied for first in the tournament with a 3- 1 record. “It was a rough day,” A&M baseball coach Mark Johnson said. “We didn’t hit the ball well. It was a hard game to get started on. They weren’t throwing a lot of strikes. They gave us a lot of opportu nities to break the game open but we did n’t get it done.” Ohio State lit up the scoreboard right offthe bat, taking a 1 -0 lead in the top of the first on a sacrifice fly by right fielder Jason Turner. A&M answered back in the bottom of the inning, capitalizing on the wild ness of Buckeyes starting pitcher Nate Smith. Smith loaded the bases on walks to junior catcher Jason Gremminger and junior first baseman Jeff Freeman and by hitting freshman designated hitter Travis Wong. Gremminger scored on an error by Ohio State third baseman John Mayor to even the score at one. After the Buckeyes took a 2-1 lead in the top of the second inning, the Aggies once again used Smith’s wildness to take the lead. Smith walked the bases loaded, then allowed senior second baseman Sean Heaney to score when he unleashed a wild pitch to knot the game up at two. The Aggies then took the lead on a sacrifice fly by Freeman for a 3-2 lead. A&M padded its lead in the fourth in ning when junior right fielder Daylan Holt smashed a two-run home run off’the scoreboard for a 5-2 lead. OSU answered right back the next in ning, scoring three runs in the top of the fifth, keyed by back-to-back home runs by second baseman Chad Ehmsberger and Turner, to tie the game up at five. The Aggies would not quit as they scored two runs in the bottom of the fifth to bounce back and once again take the lead, 7-5. Sophomore right fielder Carlos Sepulveda scored on a bases-loaded walk to sophomore pinch hitter Greg Porter and sophomore shortstop Ryan Wardinsky crossed the plate on a ground out by junior pitcher/third baseman Chris Russ to move ahead. It was not meant to be for the Aggies however, as the Buckeyes scored two runs in the sixth and one in the seventh to take the game from the Aggies. Johnson said the Aggies could never put any space between themselves and Ohio State. “We took the lead and they came right back,” Johnson said. “That happens when things aren’t going good. You just can’t get momentum and get over the hump.” Russ took the loss for the Aggies. Russ (0-2) pitched three innings in relief of sophomore pitcher Khalid Ballduii and gave up three runs on four hits. Buckeyes pitcher Cory Cox picked up the win for Ohio State. Cox (2-0) pitched three innings and allowed no runs and gave up only one hit.
