Ex-Marauder earns honor
Former Mt. Vernon standout and current Ohio State outfielder Troy Montgomery recently was named to the All-Big Ten Second Team.
In this his sophomore season, Montgomery leads the conference with a .320 batting average and 35 steals.
He also paces his Buckeyes teammates in triples (six), runs scored (54), walks (38) and on-base percentage (.438). Montgomery is second on the Buckeyes with a .503 slugging percentage and 63 hits. His 12 doubles rank third on the squad.
He has started all 53 games for Ohio State (35-18, 13-11 Big Ten), and he has yet to commit an error in the field.
The seventh-seeded Buckeyes play against the No. 2 seed Iowa University in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament, which began Wednesday.
