Kent Read, Kent Write, Kent State Game

[JCOSU86]

The Kent State Golden Flashes visit Columbus for this week's non-conference game against Ohio State. KSU is currently 24-7 (9-2 Mid-American Conference) on the year. They should be a good opponent for OSU

I covered a series for my campus newspaper when Kennesaw State took on KSU. They were #21 at the time, and they're good. Kennesaw won both games of a double header by one run in each with late game dramatics. Wet weekend wins against No. 21 Kent State | The Sentinel

There's a link to the article if anyone is interested. They were supposed to play four games over the weekend but two got canceled from bad weather.

Kent State can hit well, they're solid fundamentally, and they're starting pitching is pretty strong. Although the starter for the second game had trouble all year up that point. Should be a good series for tOSU, they won't overlook KSU, and could some very entertaining baseball.

Buckeyes lose to Kent State

From the Official Site


COLUMBUS, Ohio - No. 26 Ohio State dropped an 8-7 game to No. 24 Kent State Wednesday in a back-and-forth midweek game that was as entertaining and intriguing as any regular season midweek game will be anywhere in the state of Ohio...at least this year. Promise. Ohio State is now 26-8 on the season while Kent State improves to 26-7.
Here?s why this game was entertaining: eight ties or lead changes; 33 combined hits; three outfield assists including two runners thrown out at the plate; no errors; 20 runners left on base; and a lively crowd of 872 fans on a night more conducive for huddling around a warm fire with hot chocolate and the glow of a high-def television set delivering comfort show reruns of "Happy Days" and "The Honeymooners."
