Kent State has had one constant struggle so far this season: the bullpen.
The bullpen came into the series against Notre Dame on Tuesday allowing eight runs per loss. However, it had one of its best series of the season during the two-game nonconference tilt against the Fighting Irish, which the Flashes split.
Game 1: Kent State 4, Notre Dame 1
Kent State (12-9, 1-2 Mid-American Conference) started the game by stranding two runners in the first, but it was able to get on the board in the second after junior shortstop Josh Hollander’s two-out double to right field.
