Ohio State says freshman starting pitcher Zach Farmer will miss the rest of the season while being treated for leukemia. The lefty had been feeling sick for a week when he went to see the team doctor Monday. Originally thought to have mono, a blood draw confirmed he has leukemia. He posted a 6-4 record and a 3.28 ERA this season.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
