KENT, OHIO- Max Rippl went five strong innings and Collin Mathews drove in four, leading Kent State to an 8-1 victory over Tennessee Tech on Sunday, completing a three-game sweep.
Brett Roberts hit the first pitch of the game for a solo home run, but that would be all Rippl would allow on Sunday. The right hander settled down to allow just the one run, two hits and struck out six against just one walk. The trio of Peyton Deats, Trevor Pittman and Jack Kartsonas combined for the final four shutout innings and allowed a collective three hits and struck out six.
