Ohio State won the final midweek night game of the season with an 8-1 decision over Marshall Wednesday at Bill Davis Stadium. The Buckeyes now turn their attention to a four-game homestand against Illinois this weekend.
The teams managed to play five innings in a steady rain and had to endure a 22-minute delay between the top and bottom of the second inning. After the delay, Ohio State scored four runs. Ryan Dew led off with a double and Brian DeLucia drove him in with a double of his own. A single by Dan Burkhart plated DeLucia. Tyler Engle doubled putting runners at second and third for Tony Kennedy who singled up the middle to score two more.
Marshall scored its lone run in the top of the third, but Ohio State countered with one in the fourth and three in the fifth. The Buckeyes finsihed the game with 10 hits, including two each by DeLucia, Engle and Justin Miller. Cory Rupert drove in two. Miller and Rupert each hit home runs.
The Herd had just three hits against Buckeye pitching. Andrew Armstrong got the start and the win in 4.0 innings. Alex Wimmers pitched 1.0 inning.
After the Big Ten series with Illinois, the Buckeyes close out the home portion of the schedule against Buffalo Tuesday at 12:05 p.m. in the annual Columbus Public Schools Day.

Tyler Engle played 2B tonight. Armstrong started on the mound and pitched well.Wimmers got a inning of work.
Steady rain all night, but it was nice to see the guys play hard. Hopefully this carries over to this weekend vs. Illinois. Winning 3/4 would be huge.
