Throughout Kent State's illustrious baseball history, there have been great players, awe-inspiring moments, stunning edge-of-your-seat games and a string of championships to almost single-handedly keep Jostens in business.
While a debate can rage on which team started it all, there is no doubt the KSU baseball era of 2006-2012 shines the brightest. Those squads, led by former Flashes catcher Scott Stricklin (who, along with his 1992 and 1993 teammates could stake a claim on the teams who started it all), accounted for 11 championships: four regular season conference crowns, five league post-season pennants and of course two NCAA Regional and Super Regional flags – both clinched in the magical 2012 season.
