Alabama gets leading hitter from Horizon League school that discontinued baseball program
Alabama gets leading hitter from Horizon League school that discontinued baseball program Coach Rob Vaughn and Alabama baseball have picked up their first position player from the transfer portal since the Crimson Tide's season ended in the Hattiesburg Regional of the NCAA Tournament a week ago. Infielder Justin Osterhouse announced his commitment to Alabama in a post to social media on Saturday. Osterhouse, a sophomore last season, spent the past two years in the Horizon League with Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW). The school announced it was discontinuing its baseball and softball programs on May 23. A left-handed hitter, Osterhouse led the Mastodons at the plate with a .328 average, 16 home runs and 46 RBIs this past season. He added 10 doubles and led the team in stolen bases (13) and on-base percentage (.453) while starting 52 of the team's 53 games. Listed as 6-foot-1, 175 pounds, the Grand Rapids, Mich. native started 30 games this past season at second game, 16 at third base, and six at shortstop. His best showing at the plate came on May 15 against Wright State in Fort Wayne. In a 21-17 Mastodons victory, Osterhouse hit four home runs in a 5-for-6, eight-RBI night. Alabama used senior Brennen Norton, Jon Young Jr. and Garrett Staton at second base this past season. The Crimson Tide went 41-18 overall, winning 40 regular-season games for the first time since 2002. They fell to Miami and Southern Miss on back-to-back days at the NCAA Tournament in Hattiesburg.

Ohio State football announces future nonconference schedule changes
Ohio State football announces future nonconference schedule changes 🚨 Changes to @OhioStateFB 2029 and 2030 Schedules 🔘 Opening up the 2029 season with Navy, scheduled for Sept. 1, 2029 🔘 Added a game vs. Youngstown State to be played in Ohio Stadium on Sept. 15, 2029 🔘 Game vs. University of Nevada moved to Sept. 7, 2030 ➕:… — Ohio State Buckeyes 🌰 (@OhioStAthletics) June 4, 2025 With all the changes we've seen in college football the last few years, it sure seems like the same schedules that were made years in advance and mostly locked in have been adjusted more and more. Ohio State isn't immune either. We've seen additions, modifications, and cancellations of some of the future opponents as the Big Ten has expanded, the College Football Playoff has gotten bigger, and Name, Image and Likeness continues to change the landscape of talent on teams. On Wednesday, Ohio State announced further football nonconference schedule changes, and we're here to keep you in the loop. All told, there are three changes to the nonconference schedules in 2029 and 2030. Ohio State added a game against Navy for the season opener on Sept. 1, 2029. However, in order to make room for that game, the Buckeyes and the University of Nevada have agreed to move their previously scheduled game to Sept. 7, 2030. Ohio State also added a game against Youngstown State, to be played at Ohio Stadium on Sept. 15, 2029. That all means that the Buckeyes have just one game remaining to fill out their non-conference schedules over the next five years by way of the season opener on August 1, 2030. If anymore schedule changes come down the pipe during the offseason, we'll bring that to you, as well as other OSU athletics news.

Wright State stuns No. 1 Vanderbilt with historic upset in baseball regionals
The Commodores are now the first No. 1 seed to fail to reach its regional final since 1999. () Wright State pulled off a historic upset on Sunday afternoon in Nashville. Wright State stunned top-seeded Vanderbilt in its own regional in a 5-4 win on Sunday afternoon. That officially sent the No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament home before the regional final, which is something that hasn't happened under the current format — which was adopted in 1999. Advertisement The Commodores were the first No. 1 seed to be eliminated in the regionals round since UCLA fell in 2015. Vanderbilt has now been knocked out in the regional rounds for a fourth straight season. The Commodores started Austin Nye, though he faced just seven batters and gave up four runs before they pulled him. Vanderbilt started slowly crawling back into the game, and it put up three runs in the final inning in large part due to a two-run single from Mike Mancini. But RJ Austin flew out to end the game, which allowed Wright State to make it out with the one-run win. Despite the remarkable upset, Wright State — a No. 4 regional seed from the Horizon League — failed to take advantage. It had to turn around right away and take on Louisville on Sunday night, and the Cardinals rolled to a 6-0 win. The Cardinals are now advancing to the super regional. Wright State was playing in its third regional final, and its first since 2016. Advertisement Vanderbilt was the second top team to go down on Sunday. No. 2 Texas fell 7-4 to UTSA for a second straight day, which knocked the Longhorns out of the Austin regional early. That sent the Roadrunners to the super regionals for the first time in program history.
