DeKALB,ILL- Tim Orr capped a two-out ninth inning rally with a grand slam and the Flashes outlasted Northern Illinois 9-8 in 10 innings to take the series and earn the 2,000th win in program history.
Kent State found itself down 7-4 with two out and nobody on in the ninth. The Flashes then embarked on a comeback straight out of Hollywood. Lance MacDonald was down to his final strike before shooting a double down the right field line. Ripken Reese was hit by a pitch and Josh Johnson worked a walk. Tim Orr then sent a 1-0 pitch the opposite way, over the left field wall for his second homer of the game and putting the Flashes ahead 8-7.
