It's hard to believe it's that time already but the Ohio softball team opened its season this weekend by going 4-1 in Georgia, beating Eastern Illinois, Morehead State, Kennesaw State and Eastern Illinois again. Loss was 6-3 to Chattanooga.

Morgan Geno had quite an opening weekend, going 9 for 16 with a home run, double and 7 RBIs. Allie Englant was 11 for 20 and scored 6 runs. The team hit .318 as a whole and scored 29 runs. Freshman Mackensie Kohl was the top pitcher, going 2-0 with a 1.35 ERA in 20 2/3 innings. Madi McCrady had some control issues and had a 4.32 ERA in 11 1/3 innings. A couple other pitchers also walked a lot of batters and struggled in a combined 2 innings.

Ohio is now 7-5. All of the losses have been close. The Bobcats have hit .285 and have a 3.05 ERA so solid in both aspects. Allie Englant hit .522 in the first six games but has missed the last six. Morgan Geno (.368, 2 HRs), Katie Yun (.364) and Natalie Alvarez (.324) all are above .300. Kohl has a 1.93 ERA even though she has not been a big strikeout pitcher (26 in 40 innings). McCrady has a 3.00 ERA with 31 strikeouts in 37 1/3 innings but also 24 walks.

Bobcats split with both St. Francis (Pa). and Indiana this weekend. Lost 19-18 to St. Francis and won 17-6 in 5 innings, and beat the ranked Hoosiers 4-1 and lost 6-4. McCrady pitched pretty well in both Indiana games, especially the first one. She also pitched the win over St. Francis. Kohl and others were hit hard in the 19-18 loss. Ohio hit a MAC-record seven home runs in the 17-6 win. Morgan Geno is up to 10 home runs and 39 RBIs (second in the nation) on the year already. They play at Pittsburgh on Tuesday and open MAC play at home against BG on Friday.

Beat Northern Illinois 11-3 with Geno hitting another home run and Brunswick also homering with 6 RBIs. Lost 5-4, giving up a 4-0 lead. Brunswick had 3 more RBIs. Won 8-4. Geno hit 2 more home runs, 4 RBIs.

Geno has 15 home runs, 53 RBIs and is hitting .385. She's slugging .843 with a .508 on-base percentage. She has nearly twice as many RBIs as the second-place person in the MAC (28). She seems on her way to MAC player of the year, if she can hold off her own teammate, Yun, who is hitting .427, slugging .771, has 11 home runs and leads the MAC with 33 runs scored.

2. Kent State 10-4
3. Central Michigan 10-7-1
4. Ball State 9-8
4. Ohio 9-8
4. Northern Illinois 9-8
7. Toledo 8-8
8. Western Michigan 8-9
9. Buffalo 6-7-1

Bobcats got the sweep of Buffalo at D'Youville College (yes, that's really a place and they played there) and moved all the way up to the No. 3 seed. Bobcats take on No. 6 Ball State in the first round in the final game Wednesday, scheduled for about 6 p.m. at Firestone Stadium in Akron.

The Bobcats will play either Miami or Toledo for the MAC championship at 1 p.m. Saturday. Whoever it is will have to beat Ohio twice. It's Ohio's fourth straight appearance in the MAC Championship game.

Tough day. Bobcats had the ideal setup, getting No. 7 Toledo and getting two chances to beat them. Couldn't get it done. Lost 6-5, giving up 3 runs in the 6th after leading throughout. Lost 9-2 in the second game. Led 1-0 for a good while but it blew up on them after that. Finish the season 34-21.
