MINNEAPOLIS – Hot off five victories and two series wins, the University of Minnesota softball team are set to face the Ohio State Buckeyes in three games April 28-30 in Columbus. Friday and Saturday's games can be streamed live on B1G+ with the series final live on Big Ten Network.
Ohio State Series History
» The Golden Gophers lead the all-time series 58-35
» Ohio State leads Minnesota on their home turf by one win, 23-22
» Minnesota last met the Buckeyes in 2021 and split two games, 1-1
» The Gophers are 3-7 against Ohio State in their last 10 match ups
» The series dates all the way back to 1977
Recapping the Action
The Golden Gophers have been hot and stayed hot through their conference scheduling, winning all but one series and picking five wins off Iowa and Wisconsin. Minnesota is lead offensively by Taylor Krapf (.362), Kayla Chavez (.333), and Jess Oakland (.324). While Minnesota's pitching staff has stayed solid, totaling a combined 2.23 ERA.
Twice as Nice
After pitching two shutouts over the Iowa Hawkeyes, fifth year senior Autumn Pease has been named Big Ten Pitcher of the Week, the conference office announced on Monday.
Pease made two starts and three appearances against Iowa, not allowing a single run through 16 innings of work. The Murrieta, Calif., native picked up all three wins, tossing 24 strikeouts and allowing three walks from opposing batters.
Pease now ranks first in the Big Ten in strikeouts (206), second in victories (20), and third in both ERA (1.55) and opposing batting average (.196).
This marks her third weekly honor from the league and second this season, with her first of 2023 coming on March 13 following Minnesota's undefeated weekend at the Gopher Indoor Classic.
Maddy Doubles
Junior Maddy Ehlke hit a career-high two doubles in a single game against Big Ten foes Iowa on Sunday and Wisconsin on Tuesday. In her last three games, she's had five doubles.
On the Road Again
Minnesota hits the road one last time during the regular season at Ohio State, so far this season the Golden Gophers have traveled to nine different states.
Up Next
Minnesota returns home to Jane Sage Cowles this season May 5-7 as they play host to the Michigan Wolverines. Friday and Saturday's games can be streamed on B1G+ as Sunday is Senior Day and will be broadcast live on Big Ten Network.
