It was an electric atmosphere at Schoonover Stadium on Wednesday evening as Kent State (10-4) took on the Pittsburgh Panthers (8-6) in Kent State’s home opener.
The Golden Flashes came in riding a 10-game win streak hoping to make it 11 behind the arm of freshman lefty Connor Wollersheim, but the electricity slowly left the stands as Wollersheim struggled through his 2.1 innings allowing three earned runs including a solo shot off the bat of Panther center fielder Aaron Schnurbusch.
Kent State would answer the Panthers’ three-run 3rd with a three run inning of their own in the 4th, thanks to back-to-back jacks from third baseman Dylan Rosa and designated hitter Conner Simonetti.
