Tech kept the pressure on in the third as Owen Lee reached on a throwing error by Ohio starter Colton Landtiser, setting the stage for Jorsixt Jimenez to hammer an RBI triple deep into the gap.
Eddie Garza then followed with a productive groundout that allowed Lee to score unearned, extending the lead to 4-0.
On the mound, Jaxson Pease (2-1) provided a stellar start for the Golden Eagles, tossing 6.2 innings and striking out five. After Ohio clawed back two runs in the fourth behind a Cam Bryant single and a Tyler Stack sacrifice fly, Pease settled into a groove, retiring 11 of 12 batters during a dominant mid-game stretch.

The Bobcats attempted a late-inning rally in the eighth, using a Dylan Shepherd RBI double to pull within three, but Tennessee Tech turned to the bullpen to slam the door.
