After scoring first off a quick RBI single from Riley Dittmar, Western Michigan (23-19, 12-7 Mid-American Conference) loaded the bases. In response, Ohio (23-21, 11-8 MAC) coach Jenna Hall made a quick decision to pull her starting pitcher, Ellie Greene, and replace her with Skipp Miller.
For the first half of the third game in its series against Western Michigan (23-19, 12-7 Mid-American Conference), Ohio (23-21, 11-8 MAC) appeared destined for a similar fate that it saw in game one of the doubleheader the day prior. While the incredible comeback efforts in game two gave the Bobcats a chance to come out of the series on top, they still had a hurdle to climb with a talented pitcher set against them in game three.
Defensive slug fests are no new concept for Ohio (22-21, 10-8 Mid-American Conference), and that’s what the team experienced through the majority of its doubleheader against Western Michigan (23-18, 12-6 MAC). However, following a low-scoring first game, the cracking of bats became routine as one electric play after another allowed Ohio to split the opening doubleheader of the three-game series.
In one instant, one swing of the bat, all of the doubt and dread of losing another game turned to dust. Ohio (22-21, 10-8 Mid-American Conference) looked dead to rights numerous times during the second game of its doubleheader against Western Michigan (23-18, 12-6 MAC). However, an improbable win was made possible by nothing short of belief and confidence in getting the job done. Ohio’s electrifying win might not have done a whole lot for it in the standings, but it sent a jolt of energy through Ohio, faithful that it cannot be overlooked.
While Ohio's spring game was more of an open practice than an organized game, the spring game showed signs of improvement for Ohio, according to Ohio coach Tim Albin.

When listening to an artist normally known for powerful songs of heartbreak, ‘80s synth-pop is not a genre one would expect them to perform. However, when Conan Gray released his album “Found Heaven” April 5, fans quickly discovered how well the genre worked with Gray’s voice.
Vampire Weekend has been a predominant name in the indie rock world since its self-titled debut album was released in 2008. Since then, the group has redefined the genre by blending ska, hip-hop and pop. Characterized by literate lyrics and musical proficiency, the group's sound is lively and compatible with the spring season, which fits with the release of its new album in early April.
Happy Friday! With the end of the week in sight, it is another week with new music. This past week, we have new music from Maggie Rogers and TOLEDO, among others.
When I first got to The Post I had this larger-than-life urge to make content that resonated with people. Now that I’m sitting here over 200 stories later, I wonder if it was remotely worth it. I’ve poured years of my life into this university, more specifically this organization, and what do I have to show for it other than a piece of paper and a more detailed resume? I hear that line of thinking weekly and it shortchanges the college experience.

Stemming from the folk music of Irish and Scottish settlers in the region mixed with African traditions brought by formerly enslaved people, bluegrass focuses on acoustic instruments such as the banjo and fiddle with an emphasis on musical dexterity.
In 2023, the “girl dinner” trend emerged on TikTok. It started as simple jokes about chaotic plates of food girls would eat for dinner if they were not planning on eating a big meal. Odd assortments of food from strawberries, cheese sticks and eggs to hashbrowns, cookies and an elf bar have permeated social media.Soon enough, countless “girl” trends emerged: the “girl math” trend jokes about poor financial decisions, the phrase “I’m just a girl” to justify a mistake or questionable decision and even “girl explanations” have become popular, using understandable concepts like shopping and friend group drama to explain world politics and economics.
For students at Ohio University, and almost everyone everywhere, the concept of a “situationship” can often be very confusing. The term branches from the idea of not labeling a relationship or connection between two people.
Over the weekend, I made plans with some friends to meet up in a park at 8:15 p.m. As an American, I am used to the standard of arriving at the agreed upon time to a social gathering, or even a few minutes earlier. However, because many of the new friends I’ve made while studying abroad are European, the standard is very different; people arrived anywhere from 10 minutes late to an hour after the meeting time, which was more of a suggestion to them than something definitive. This observation contributes to the conclusion that in Europe, the false sense of urgency that drives Americans to live such tightly-wound lifestyles is not as predominant.
