Baseball: Eighth-inning home run sinks the Bobcats, 8-5
Spencer Sapp, a left-handed senior pitcher in 2015, warms up on the mound against Eastern Kentucky on April 21, 2015.Ohio's Eddie Fitzpatrick stared blankly out to left field as his eighth-inning slider sailed over the wall.
It was the first home run he’d given up as a Bobcat and it was a big one.
Fitzpatrick gave up the decisive runs and took the loss for Ohio. The team fell 8-5 to Youngstown State on Tuesday night at Bob Wren Stadium.
“It was pretty simple,” Fitzpatrick said. “I just left some off-speed (pitches) up and they hit them pretty well. That one’s on me.”
