CULLOWHEE, N.C. – Western Carolina ended the longest losing streak in school history and avoided a second straight home sweep by bashing past Kent State, 9-2 on Sunday afternoon.
Having lost 14 consecutive games, the Catamounts (2-17) erased any doubt early in the contest by racing out to a 6-0 lead after three innings. WCU broke things open with a four-run third. The Catamounts – who had a team ERA of well over eight coming into the weekend – got tremendous pitching in the game, allowing the Golden Flashes' offense just two runs – coming in the eighth with the Cats leading 7-0.
