There have been some tense moments this morning at the BIG EAST/Big Ten Challenge, with all three of the early games tied or one-run battles through the middle innings. Iowa did gain some distance on Georgetown (using three runs in the 5th for a 4-2 win), but the other two games were nailbiters throuhgout – with Ohio State edging Cincinnati (6-5) while Seton Hall was two outs away from defeating Penn State in what would be a rare 1-0 final (the live-stats have frozen, so we await the final score on this one).
Cincinnati had the tying run in scoring position in the top of the 9th, in the form of the tournament's leading hitter Justin Riddell (who earlier had smacked his third home run of the season). But Jake Hale delivered the game-ending strikeout, as Ohio State improved to 3-0.
The Bearcats held leads of 2-0 and 4-3, in addition to forging a 5-5 tie in the top of the 5th, but the Buckeyes scored the eventual winning run moments later (there was no scoring over the final four innings).
OSU junior 3B Brian DeLucia was the offensive hero, blasting a three-run homer in the 3rd and then leading off the bottom of the 4th with another home run. There were four total home runs in this game (accounting for seven of the 11 runs), as Cincinnati senior RF Cameron Satterwhite had the solo shot in the 5th that briefly tied the game (5-5).
More as we get it on these early games (also note that the UConn-Northwestern game has no live-stats and no SIDs/stat people on site ... so we will see what we can find out).
