GREENVILLE, S.C. – Ohio State scratched and clawed its way to a second-consecutive extra innings win in Game 1 (6-5) and then broke out the bats out in a 12-6 win in Game 2 to sweep at double-header with Illinois on Saturday at Fluor Field in Greenville, S.C.

The Buckeyes are now 3-0 on the season and will look for the rare four-game series sweep on Sunday.  Ohio State’s 2-3-4 hitters of Colton Bauer, Zach Dezenzo and Conner Pohl all had four hits on the day and drove in eight runs.

The story of game one was much like Friday night as the Buckeye pitchers stepped up in high-leverage situations, stranding 14 Illinois baserunners. In game two, Ohio State slugged a pair of home runs and used an eight-run second inning to open up the game.
