Despite the Buckeye classic being reduced from a full tournament to simply a Friday double-header, BG continued to fall, dropping to 0-16 on the season.
In the Falcons first game they hung with No. 21 ranked Ohio State for the whole contest keeping a one-run deadlock through the fifth and sixth inning.
In the seventh inning BG was able to take a brief lead on an RBI single by senior pitcher Emily Gouge, her first RBI of the season. While on base the Falcons threatened to add another tally as Gouge stole her first career base only to be stranded on second.
Despite the Falcons slim lead, the Buckeyes answered back in the bottom of the seventh with a two-out, two-run homer that gave Ohio State the win while preventing BG as they fell one out short of their first win. In the game BG was lead by Hayley Wiemer who pitched a complete game only allowing three runs on seven hits.
The Falcons second game came against Eastern Michigan and proved to be much worse of a loss as the Eagles ran away winning 12-4 in only five innings. Neither Falcon pitcher Gouge or Melissa Bott could subdue Eastern, as they were each touched for at least four runs and barely lasting two innings.
The loss moves BG to 0-16 on the season. The sixteen losses are more than BG had all of last season when they finished with a 33-12 record.
