Ohio will head back to the state of Kentucky once again for a middle-of-the-week matchup. This time, at Morehead State. Ohio will look to have a little more success in the Bluegrass state this week compared to its 9-2 loss to Kentucky.
Last weekend Ohio played well against Central Michigan, the reigning Mid-American Conference Champions, despite a series loss. Ohio generated a lot of offense, scoring 22 runs over the span of the three-game series.
Ohio, who has lost eight of its nine road games to start the season, will look to keep the offensive momentum going as they head to Kentucky.
Here is all that you need to know.

Player to Watch
Cole Williams — Keep your eyes on Cole Williams during Tuesday's game. The junior found his way back into the lineup after struggling to start the season. As the Bobcats' designated hitter, Williams broke out of his month-long slump, picking up two home runs and five RBIs while going 3-for-3 at the plate in Ohio’s 11-7 victory over the Chippewas on Saturday.
