COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Indiana State Softball team wrapped up its weekend at the Ohio State Tournament on Sunday afternoon, falling to the host Buckeyes 11-1 in five innings at Buckeye Field. 

The Sycamores collected six hits in the contest, led by multi-hit performances from Morgan Goodrich and Isabelle Saylor. Indiana State threatened early in the first inning when Goodrich led off with a single and Madison Poulson reached on a fielder's choice, but Ohio State's defense locked down to keep the Sycamores off the board. 

Ohio State used a four-run second inning to take control of the game and added six more in the fourth to extend the lead. The Sycamores broke through in the top of the fifth inning. Annie Waggoner sparked the rally with a pinch-hit single to center field. After Bella Pusateri entered to run, she eventually came around to score on an RBI single by Goodrich, marking the final run of the afternoon.
