Marshall baseball took a 6-2 win in the first of its two midweek games against the Ohio Bobcats Tuesday afternoon at YMCA Kennedy Center Field in Huntington, West Virginia. The Herd moved to a season record of 16-17 (5-10 C-USA), while Ohio fell to 17-18 (5-7 MAC).
After falling behind 1-0 in the top of the second inning, the Herd used the long ball to respond, as redshirt senior left fielder Tucker Linder blasted a second inning 3-run home run to give Marshall its first lead of the game. Then, sophomore second baseman Peter Hutzal tallied his seventh and eighth home runs of the season (a team-high) with his second multi-home run game of 2018.
