The Kent State baseball team split their midweek series, recording a win against Malone on Tuesday while falling to Youngstown State on Wednesday.
The Flashes beat down on Malone, winning 14-6.
However, that win was followed by the loss to Youngstown State in a game in which the Penguins tied the game in the ninth before winning 4-3 in 11 innings on a walk-off wild pitch.
“ We have to sharpen our knives back up because in two days Western Michigan comes in,” coach Jeff Duncan said. “If we do what we're capable of doing, we can take care of business, but we have to make sure we are ready to go and play the game.
