While early offensive productivity has been a staple for the Kent State baseball team all season long, the Flashes have struggled at times to close games out.
This weekend’s series loss against Ohio (19-20, 7-8 Mid-American Conference) was a prime example.
Game 1: Kent State 5, Ohio 3
Kent State (24-12, 10-5 MAC) came out strong, scoring two runs in the bottom of the first inning to take an early 2-0 lead on junior third baseman Pavin Parks’ two-run home run.
The Flashes then added a few insurance runs through the middle innings.
