Cruz’s Clutch Hit Gives Flashes Friday Afternoon Walk-off Win

KENT, Ohio – Junior Chloe Cruz hit the ball just out of the reach of the diving second baseman and junior Brooklyn Whitt avoided a tag attempt at the plate to give Kent State a walk-off 8-7 win in the bottom of the eighth inning Friday afternoon in the series opener against Western Michigan.

The Golden Flashes (25-25, 21-15 MAC) have five walk-off victories at the Diamond at Dix this year, and with the win, secured a top-four finish in the Mid-American Conference standings for the eighth straight season.
