KENT, OHIO – Kent State took advantage of some warm spring weather and home cooking to blast past visiting Walsh Wednesday night, 12-3 in the opening game of a seven-game homestand.
Trailing early 2-0, the Golden Flashes tied it in the first then quickly took the lead for good with single runs in the second and third. The hosts blew the game open with a six-run fourth. Brad Hamilton's team-best ninth home run gave the Flashes some additional breathing room.
In all, the Flashes banged out 17 hits and did not commit an error.
