There was thunder in more ways than one at Bill Davis Stadium on Wednesday night. Thunder from the inclement weather that ultimately ended Ohio State’s game with Kent State prematurely. Thunder from the Golden Flashes’ bats as they roared out of the gates to take a 7-0 lead. And thunder from the Buckeyes’ offense as well, as they mounted a furious comeback - aided by a grand slam from Zach Ratcliff - to come away with a 9-8 victory.
It was the kind of outcome that has been increasingly rare for Ohio State, having lost eight of its last eleven games since turning the page to the second month of the season, but could be just what the club needs to begin turning things around.
