Census.gov estimates the population of the state of Ohio is around 11 1/2 million, and I'd say around half of those pitched for the Bobcats on Tuesday.
Ohio used 10 pitchers in its 7-6 loss in 12 innings, the last of which - junior righty Jake Miller - tossed three innings of no-earned run, five-strike out ball, but the one unearned run he allowed came as a result of his own throwing error on a sacrifice attempt in the bottom of the 12th. That chased home Brandon Gold, who had led off the frame with a single and Miller tossed the Wade Bailey bunt into center field and Gold scored to cap a three hour, 42-minute mid-week contest.
For Tech, Zac Ryan faced 13 batters and retired 12 of them in a brilliant, four-inning relief appearance to pick up the win. The Yellow Jackets won their fourth straight and moved to 9-3.
* Nice days for Mitch Longo (5-for-5 with a walk) and Cody Gaertner, who ripped a tying, three-run double in the seventh that tied the game at 6-6 after Ohio trailed 6-2. The rest of the Bobcats' lineup went just 5-for-36.
* I left Russ Chandler Stadium and covered the Georgia Tech-North Carolina basketball game. Arrived in time to watch this Yellow Jackets' fan enjoy a hot dog:
