Ohio will get another chance at a Tuesday night victory with a matchup against Shawnee State at Bob Wren Stadium. The Bobcats have been unable to win a single midweek game all season and are now presented with their best opportunity to do so versus an NAIA school.
Ohio is coming off getting swept in a three-game series against Indiana last weekend. Playing a very good team, Ohio fared decently and almost snuck out a win in game one.
