(5-26-19) Seventh-seeded Ohio State won the 2019 Big Ten Tournament title after posting a 3-1 win over fifth-seeded Nebraska in the championship game Sunday at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha. The Buckeyes became the lowest seed to ever win the tournament.

Facing elimination in the first game vs Minnesota on Sunday, Seth Lonsway would get the start and last five innings giving up just one run, 4 hits, striking out 6 and walking just one to pick up the win and move the Buckeyes on to the Championship game vs Nebraska.
