OMAHA, Neb. (Interstat) — Pierce Herrenbruck pitched a complete game and Dane Harvey delivered a go-ahead RBI double in the eighth inning as Ohio State edged Rutgers 3-2 on Wednesday afternoon at Sapp Fieldhouse.

Herrenbruck, who recorded his second straight complete-game victory, allowed six hits and one earned run while striking out three in a nine-inning performance. The Buckeyes right-hander lowered his ERA to 2.45 in his past three starts.

Rutgers starter Zack Konstantinovsky carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning but exited after 5 1/3 innings with the game tied. Konstantinovsky struck out six and walked two, allowing two earned runs despite not surrendering a hit. Both runs scored after he left the game.

The Scarlet Knights took an early lead in the top of the sixth. Chase Krewson tripled to right-center and scored on a fielder’s choice by Ryan Jaros. Later in the inning, Yomar Carreras reached on a throwing error by first baseman Dane Harvey, allowing another unearned run to score and giving Rutgers a 2-1 advantage.

Ohio State answered in the bottom half. Alex Bemis singled, advanced to second on a balk and scored on a single up the middle by Noah Furcht to tie the game at 2.

The Buckeyes pulled ahead in the eighth. Bemis led off with a double to right field. After Henry Kaczmar struck out and Furcht flied out, Harvey doubled to left-center, scoring Bemis for the decisive run.

Kaczmar opened the scoring in the fourth inning with a solo home run to right field, his sixth of the season. Bemis finished 2 for 4 with two runs scored. Harvey went 1 for 4 with two RBIs. Furcht added a hit and an RBI.

Rutgers threatened in the top of the ninth. With one out, Ty Doucette singled through the left side and Matt Meglio singled to right-center, putting runners at the corners. Pinch hitter Danny Erace grounded out to shortstop to end the game.

Joe Mazza relieved Konstantinovsky in the sixth and allowed one earned run on two hits over 2 2/3 innings, striking out three.

The victory gave Ohio State a 3-1 edge in the season series after Rutgers won 11-5 on April 26. The Buckeyes improved to 30-24 overall. The Scarlet Knights fell to 26-30.

Interstat’s game simulator had projected a final score of Ohio State 7, Rutgers 4, but Interstat’s ELO system had projected Rutgers with a 55.60 percent probability to win.
