OSU wins wild game against Northwestern, 15-14
The Ohio State Buckeyes and the Northwestern Wildcats cooked up a wild finish in the final game of their three-game series.
Matt Streng was a hitting star for OSU, as he had four hits and belted a two-run homer.
A throwing error by the Wildcats in the ninth inning allowed Brian DeLucia to score the winning run in a wild 15-14 Big Ten contest in Bill Davis Stadium.
The Buckeyes up their record to 10-11, 2-1 while Northwestern falls to 8-15, 1-2.
The Buckeyes blew a 14-7 lead after six innings as the Wildcats rallied to tie the score at 14-14.
DeLucia walked to lead off the ninth inning for Ohio State and scored all the way from first base when Wildcats reliever Paul Snieder overthrew first base on Tim Wetzel’s sacrifice bunt attempt and the ball sailed down the right-field line.
