Oh, For Pete's Sake!

Flashes catcher slugs dramatic 8th-inning homer to keep KSU alive

LUBBOCK, TEXAS – Kent State was down to its final five outs and facing New Mexico State's closer. Then, then man who has been red-hot for them in the season's final 11 games rescued the Golden Flashes with one clutch swing.

Pete Schuler took one effortless cut at closer Brock Whittlesey's first offering and the ball soared into flight. Right fielder Logan Ehnes, who twice had robbed KSU hitters with diving grabs, took one step back and stopped as the ball sailed majestically over the wall.
