Last time:
The Bobcats were supposed to play two games against the Falcons in 2020, but the series was canceled due to COVID-19. Instead, the last time these two teams played was in March 2019, when Ohio swept Bowling Green thanks to three great offensive performances, including an 8-7 eight-inning victory won by a walk-off double RBI from Morgan Geno.
