TXST takes down Ohio State in series opener

Hitting hasn’t been a problem thus far for Texas State.

After defeating Wichita State 9-2 the night before, the maroon and gold took to their home field Friday evening for the start of a three-game series against Ohio State at Bobcat Ballpark. Between starting pitchers Zeke Wood and Isaiah Coupet, they threw 17 strikeouts in the first five innings of the game but a five-run fifth inning by the Bobcats rewarded them with a 9-1 win — their third straight.

Texas State (5-1) is averaging nine runs per game after the win on Friday and has already scored double-digit runs in two of its four games — all resulting in wins for the hosts.
