"We are looking forward to the fifth installment of the Battle of I-75 game at Fifth Third Field. This great rivalry is being played at Northwest Ohio's premier venue. Each of the past four years, this game has produced a tremendous environment because the fans, both universities and the MudHens care about college baseball and its impact on our community.
