It’s not optimal to lose your first conference series of the season but going 1-2 against Kent, the most stable and dominant team in the MAC, is not a terrible way to open up conference play.
Buffalo got out to a 1-0 lead in game one. Brian Dudek earned a walk to reach base safely and Vinny Mallaro hit a double to left center field which brought Dudek home.
Kent then scored 2 runs in the second and third innings, a run in the 6th, and four runs in the eighth to secure the 9-1 win.
Charlie Sobieraski pitched a fantastic seven innings in the second game of the series.
