Bears baseball tops Oberlin 4-1 in earliest home opener yet

By Tim Glon

Ohio Northern scored three times in the bottom of the seventh inning to break a 1-1 tie and post a 4-1 victory over Oberlin on a chilly but nice Thursday afternoon, March 2, at Wander Field in Ada.

The Polar Bears improve to 2-1 on the season, while the Yeomen fall to 1-2.

The contest was the earliest recorded home opener since ONU began playing baseball in 1891. In 2016, Northern swept a double header from Oberlin 7-2 and 1-0 on March 12 at Wander Field in the previous earliest home opener.

Pitching dominated the early stages of the game as the two teams combined for just three hits and no runs in the first five innings.
