At the plate, the Gophers were paced by Davis Hamilton, who went 1-for-2 on the day with a home run, two walks and two RBIs.

The Gophers lost the lead they built in the second after Ohio State tallied runs on a solo home run in the fourth and a two run home run in the sixth.
Minnesota got back on the board in the eighth trailing 4-2 when Jack Spanier came across to score on a bases loaded wild pitch to close the gap to 4-3. The Gophers were unable to get any closer though, as neither team scored again in the ballgame.
