Players to Watch

Wright State (24-23) will rely on outfielder Cy Turner, who has been an offensive catalyst despite inconsistent results. In his last 10 games, Turner has produced three multi-hit performances, including a 4-for-5, two-homer, seven-RBI outburst May 3 at Oakland and a 2-for-6, two-homer, five-RBI effort Sunday at Northern Kentucky. However, he has also gone hitless in four of those contests, including an 0-for-6 showing Saturday.

For Ohio State, right-handed pitcher Pierce Herrenbruck has been the staff’s most reliable arm. The right-hander has posted quality starts in three of his last four outings, including a 5-inning, one-earned-run performance Sunday against Michigan State and a 7-inning, one-earned-run gem May 3 against Nebraska. His lone hiccup came April 26 at Rutgers, where he allowed six earned runs in 5⅓ innings.
