You talk about it all the time, but it's amazing in baseball that freebees come back to haunt you. If you make them earn it, sometimes it doesn't hurt you as bad. If they walked 10 and we scored six out of it, basically we took advantage of some opportunities. The other thing was the E.J. threw strikes. Laratta agreed that the Indiana gifts were the Hoosiers' undoing.
Walks always score.
It doesn't matter where they come or when they come. They always score. OSU and Indiana will meet tomorrow in a double header. With the win in the opener of the series, OSU's magic number to clinch a Big Ten regular season title is reduced to six. Any combination of OSU wins and Purdue losses adding up to six will insure Ohio State of a Big Ten regular-season championship.
