Little Giants knock off Tigers
From the Journal Review:
Wabash College basketball coach Mac Petty doesn’t know who the mysterious letter writer was. Frankly, he doesn’t care.
The only thing Petty was worried about was the letter in the Wabash locker room served as a motivating factor in the No. 18 Little Giants 70-59 win over No. 17 Wittenberg on Wednesday at Chadwick Court.
The letter appeared inside the doors of one of the locker room cabinets. It was one by one of the players and asked the team to go back to playing Wabash basketball.
The letter said that, with the exception of a 69-68 overtime victory at then No. 1 Wooster, Wabash had played down to the level of its opponents.
The letter appeared soon after Wabash lost at home to Hiram 70-58 on Saturday.
“I seriously don’t know who wrote the letter,” Petty said. “The letter was a good thing, because I didn’t have to tell them much before the game. That letter that was written by one of their teammates was enough.”

TweetOSU baseball team starts fresh with new coach, revamped roster
From the Columbus Dispatch:
There are only three position players and two pitchers returning to the lineup, and 13 first-year players dot an Ohio State baseball roster that has question marks from A to Z.
And, for the first time in 23 years, there will be a coach other than Bob Todd calling the shots in the dugout.
So why is right fielder Brian DeLucia so confident about the Buckeyes’ chances of being a factor in the Big Ten race, one year after they missed the conference tournament for the first time since 1996?
“The coaches and players have no doubts whatsoever in this team because we will outwork everyone in the Big Ten,” said DeLucia, a senior from Dublin who attended Watterson High School. “We’ll fight like dogs. The coaches have talked about that all the time. We’re going to raise the bar. We’ve got a new kind of energy.”
That energy includes the players singing the Buckeye Battle Cry before practices.
Ohio State will open the season under first-year coach Greg Beals against Cincinnati in the Big East-Big Ten Challenge on Friday in Tampa, Fla. The trip continues against Louisville on Saturday and St. John’s on Sunday in Clearwater, Fla. Complete story.
