Bowling Green pitcher Kevin Leady (Eastwood) started the second game on the mound in helping the Bowling Green State University baseball team earn a 3-2, 7-5 doubleheader sweep of Ohio University in games two and three of three-game weekend series at OU's Bob Wren Stadium.
With the two victories, the Falcons earned their second MAC weekend sweep of the season and their first series sweep of the Bobcats in Athens since 1976.
The right-handed senior Leady (3-4) worked a solid five innings, allowing five runs (four earned) on nine hits and earning the win. More from the Press Box . . .
