Electric Night at Bill Davis Stadium, Beals Claims Win No. 500

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio State baseball team defeated the Purdue Boilermakers, 4-2, Friday night at Bill Davis Stadium and with it gave Greg Beals the 500th victory in his 16th-year head coaching career. The win, in front of a season-high 1,895 fans at Bill Davis Stadium, snapped the nation’s longest win streak held by Purdue at 13 games. Right-handed senior reliever Seth Kinker made history, becoming the program’s all-time leader in career appearances. The Senior CLASS Award Finalist, Kinker, from Huntington, W. Va., claimed a three-inning save to tally his 12th of the season in his record-breaking 103rd career appearance. With the win capped off by an electric postgame fireworks show, the Buckeyes improve to 32-16 overall and 12-7 in Big Ten play, while the Boilermakers drop to 29-17 overall and 13-5 in conference action.

CAREER WIN NO. 500
"500 wins means you've been around a little bit,” head coach Greg Beals said. “Eight years at Ball State, eight years here at Ohio State. I learned as a young man that you win with people and I'm certainly a product of that. It makes you think about family and I think about my players. Players win games and this may be my 500th win, but everyone was a part of it."
