Box Score

Columbus, Ohio -- The Youngstown State softball team went toe-to-toe with Ohio State but dropped a 2-1 decision to the Buckeyes in extra innings on Thursday evening in Columbus, Ohio.

The Guins fall to 21-17 overall while the Buckeyes improve to 11-27.

The Guins, who tallied just three hits, got on the board first in the top of the second inning when Sarah Gabel ripped a two-out single to left-center field to score Kim Klonowski, who was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning.

The Buckeyes knotted the game in the bottom half of the frame with off of starter Casey Crozier. After the first two batters of the inning were retired, a walk and consecutive two-out singles by the Buckeyes tied the game at 1-1.

The Guins were only able to record one more hit the rest of the game.

In the bottom of the eighth, the Buckeyes again capitalized with a two-out single and walk and a double to lift them to the 2-1 victory.

Crozier and sophomore Hana Somogyi each surrendered just three hits and allowed one run each. Somogyi, however, was the hard-luck loser.

The Guins face Butler in a three-game series, April 22-23, in Indianapolis, Ind.
