Behind the Line Score

Ohio State drew first blood on Ashley Prange's leadoff solo home run to left field to start the top of the second inning.
The leadoff batter cost UNF again in the third when Ashley Farrah doubled to left, moved to third on a wild pitch and scored via a single from designated hitter Kallie Boren.
Clausen retired six of the next seven until OSU tacked on one more run in the top of the fifth courtesy of a two-out rally. Second baseman Emily Clark rolled one through the left side, Boren was hit by a pitch and Prange brought Clark around with an RBI single back up the box.
The rest of the game saw only three baserunners as Ohio State picked up its third win in as many games to open the season.

Notes

Duvall fanned a career-high 10, allowing only six baserunners.
Both pitchers were getting outs in the air. Duvall retired eight on fly outs, while Clausen set down 11.
