Big Ten - Buckeyes have the momentum

By Courtney Ratkowiak - May 24, 2007

Top 3rd - The fans here in Ann Arbor are ready to go wild - but they haven't yet had their chance. In the second inning, with two outs, left fielder Derek VanBuskirk and catcher Doug Pickens were on first and second when second baseman Kevin Cislo hit a long ball to left field. The crowd cheered in anticipation of Michigan's first run - but Ohio State left fielder Jacob Howell made a running catch, silencing the crowd and ending the inning. Putnam has allowed five hits in just two innings, rare for him, but it seems like he might be settling down going into the third inning.

The score is still Ohio State 3, Michigan 0.
