Pitching has been the great mystery for the Kent State baseball team all season long.
The Flashes have struggled to put together a string of quality pitching performances for most of the season. That was until this weekend’s series against Northern Illinois.
Game 1: Kent State 7, Northern Illinois 1
Kent State junior pitcher Joey Murray started the game strong, striking out two of the three batters he faced in the first inning. The second inning was not much different as Murray struck out two while allowing a hit and holding Northern Illinois (11-23, 3-9 Mid-American Conference) scoreless.
