OTTAWA - There is an old saying in baseball about a hitter taking what the pitcher gives him.

The Ottawa baseball team did that during Tuesday night’s Interstate Eight Conference game against Sandwich here at King Field, as OHS scattered in 10 hits around drawing 15 walks and five hit batsmen to improve to 6-1 overall and 4-0 in the league with a 14-4 victory in six innings under the lights.
