Conner Pohl and freshman
Seth Lonsway,
TJ Brock all took home third team honors.
For Pohl, this was his second All-Big Ten Team award as he also claimed third team honors in 2018. This season, Pohl has hit a career-high 13 home runs which was second in the conference coming into the final weekend. He is hitting .266 this season and has reached base in all but four of the 41 games. The Arcanum, Ohio native is also leading the team with 35 runs batted in.
Kern has been absolutely stellar in his first season. In addition to his second team honor, he was also named to the All-Freshman Team. Kern burst on to the scene with a five-hit game in his collegiate debut and has hardly slowed. The Archbold, Ohio native is hitting a team-high .327 on the year and has collected 51 hits. Kern has 14 multi-hit games and has had sperate hitting streaks of eight and seven games this season. He has also committed just one error in 85 chances in centerfield.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Ohio State junior Garrett Burhenn delivered his best performance of the season, and maybe his career, just when the Buckeyes needed it. After a game one loss to Nebraska, Burhenn shut Indiana down in a 3-1 complete game victory to give the Buckeyes a split on Saturday in Bloomington.
OSU (20-18) lost 9-0 in game one and needed some sort of shot in the arm. Burhenn certainly gave them that, and then some. The Indianapolis native turned in his first career complete game, going all nine innings and allowing just one run on seven hits while striking out a season-high 10 batters. What was perhaps the most eye-popping stat of the game was that Burhenn never got to a three-ball count on any hitter.
