Winthrop Rallies Late to Avoid Flashes' Sweep
ROCK HILL, SC- Winthrop strung together five consecutive hits in the bottom of the ninth and rallied to a 5-4 win over Kent State in the series finale on Sunday afternoon.
The Flashes had broken a 2-2 tie in the top of the ninth on two-out hits from Grant Vera and Ben Carew but it wouldn't be enough to thwart the Eagles' rally.
The Eagles scored first on Sunday afternoon, breaking through in the third inning on a pair of two-out hits off starter Ryan Lane. Winthrop would take that lead into the fifth inning when Nick Elsen and Kevin Dobos went back-to-back with solo home runs to give the Flashes their first lead of the game.
