Buckeyes vs. Aggies Early Update

Ohio State leads Texas A&M 5-1 in the bottom of the fourth inning and knocked A&M starter Kirkland Rivers out of the game after just 2.1 innings.

Ryan Dew doubled in J.B. Shuck to score the first of three Buckeye runs in the first. Cory Rupert and Michael Arp drove in the other two first-inning runs.

Two more Ohio State runs crossed home plate in the top of the third, putting an end to Rivers' day. He allowed five runs on six hits with two strikeouts. Justin Miller scored on a ground out and Arp drove in his second run of the game to score Ryan Meade.

I would have thought OSU starter Dan DeLucia would have been the first pitcher out of the game, considering he was making his second outing of the season after Tommy John surgery last April. His pitch count going into the game was identical to last week (50-55). I still think what he has done has been incredible. Hopefully, he can stay healthy.

He's back to start the bottom of the fourth.
