Ohio saw a lot of mishaps in the field as they made three errors leading to two unearned runs.
The bats didn’t have much luck either as Ohio’s first five hitters combined for two hits in twenty plate appearances. Designated hitter Austin Rieman was the only Bobcat on the team to collect two hits. He also tallied an RBI. The ‘Cats stranded four runners on base.
