What all do we have stirring in today’s Brew? Check it out below!

⚾️ Captain Clutch
🏀 Sideline Addition
💪 Getting After It
🤠 And much more!

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Captain Clutch. After being activated from the IL on Friday, former OSU standout Christian Encarnacion-Strand announced his presence in big way in his return to the Reds lineup over the weekend.

5-for-10 with two HRs, a double and five RBIs in two wins, not too shabby, huh?

Oh yeah, he also delivered the game-winning RBI for his fourth career-walk off.

He is the first Red since 1920 to notch four career walk-off RBIs in his first 108 career games.

🔼 Sideline Addition. Another new face will be on the sidelines for the OSU men’s hoops program next season.

Coach Lutz announced the addition of former St. Bonaventure assistant Dana Valentine to the Cowboy Basketball coaching staff.

Valentine arrives after two successful years at St. Bonaventure, where he worked primarily with the wings and had a hand in back-to-back 20-win campaigns. The 2024-25 Bonnies ranked 23^rd nationally in scoring defense and hosted an NIT game for just the third time in school history.
