NO Mercy! Buckeyes Burn Wedding Crashers
By KEVIN MA
EAST RIVER (July 2, 2012) – Without team captain Brian
Keatts, who was still on loan with the Phillies, the Ohio State Buckeyes won a
seesaw battle and beat the Wedding Crashers 10-9 in one of the slowest game
ever on this hot summer evening at East River. It was so slow the team from a
latter game had to open their 24-pack and enjoyed this show from the
sideline.
A few lucky hits from the Wedding Crashers saw the Buckeyes
down 5-0 in the bottom half of the 1st inning. Though, the Scarlet
and Gray struck back quickly. Jon Graham led off the 1st inning with
a triple, and scored on a sacrifice fly by Tom Antoniello. After back-to-back singles from Evan Binder
and JT Ferrara, Andrew Vanatta laced a line drive to the left field and the
ball skipped past Crashers’ leftfielder for an inside-the-park home run,
scoring Binder and Ferrara.
The Buckeyes took the lead in the 2nd
inning after back-to-back walks from Carly Klingensmith and Kevin Ma, followed
by a homer from Graham to make it a 7-5. However, the Crashers scored 3
runs in the top of the 3rd inning to take the lead again, but that
was not going to last long.
Jessica Brown got on base after a
fielder’s choice, and the Bucks loaded the bases after a single by Ethan Linen
and a walk from [Brother] Jimmy Klingensmith. [Sister] Carly hit a single and
scored Brown to tie the game, and with the bases remained loaded, Ma took a
walk as Linen scored to make it 9-8.
With a strong defensive effort from Jeanne
Domurat behind the plate, the Buckeyes held the Wedding Crashers scoreless the
last two innings and they took the nail bitter 10-9.
