Air Force: Buckeyes lead series 1-0
This will be just the second ever meeting between Air Force and Ohio State. The Buckeyes claimed the first meeting 5-4 in 2000 at the Service Academies Spring Classic in Millington, Tenn., the same locale where both teams opened the 2008 season.
Maine: First meeting between programs
The Buckeyes and Black Bears have never met on the baseball diamond.
Connecticut: Buckeyes lead series 3-2
Ohio State has won two consecutive games in this series and took a one-game lead in the five previous games between the schools with a 2-1 victory last season in Jacksonville, Fla., at the Kennel Club Classic. OSU coach Bob Todd is 3-1 against the Huskies at Ohio State. UConn downed the Buckeyes 1-0 in the first-ever meeting between the programs in 1970. Three of the five games in the series have been decided by one run and another was a two-run game.
