Mike Carroll's baseball dreams have taken him back to the Midwest.

After spending his freshman campaign playing for Duke University, the former Penn High outfielder has transferred to Ohio State.

Under NCAA rules, the 5-foot-11, 190-pound Carroll will sit out the 2011 campaign, then have three years of eligibility remaining starting in 2012.

RHP Ross Oltorik Transferring to Arizona

Sophomore right-handed pitcher Ross Oltorik is transferring to the University of Arizona this upcoming academic school year. The Cincinnati native who hails from Archbishop Moeller, missed all of the 2010 season after suffering a rotator cuff injury in his right shoulder. The injury was devastating to Ohio State's hopes to repeating as Big Ten champions as Ross was scheduled to be a weekend starter after a fine preseason camp.
