After getting some help from other Big Ten teams, the Ohio State softball team (32-22, 7-13 Big Ten) will travel to Evanston, Ill. as the eighth seed in the conference tournament.
"We had to sit home and wait and a lot of people will say we backed in, but we earn what we earn," coach Linda Kalafatis said.

"There were a lot more people here than last year," junior Matt Comer said. "I think that it helps a lot with team performance."
