KENT, Ohio – A four-run 7th inning highlighted by a three-run homerun from Dylan Rosa was the difference Tuesday night as Kent State (12-6) beat Pittsburgh (8-10) 7-6 in the home opener at Schoonover Stadium.
In a back-and-forth game, Pittsburgh would score first as they took a 1-0 lead in the 1st on an unearned run. A walk, hit batter and throwing error during an attempt to turn a double play allowed the run to score.
Starter Robert Zeigler would continue to work out of trouble during the next two innings.
