DeKALB, IL- Connor Ashby drove in four and Collin Romel tossed five strong innings to lead a balanced effort in a 13-3 run-rule victory over Northern Illinois on Sunday.
Kent State took control early in this one, scoring three times without the benefit of a hit in the second. The Flashes took advantage of a walk and a pair of NIU errors to grab the lead.
A fourth unearned run scored in the third in similar fashion, then Ashby made the Huskies pay with a towering homer to left to make it 6-0.
