The phase of the game that has been the downfall of Kent State softball for most of the season was the key to the Flashes’ success this weekend.
In her two appearances, sophomore pitcher Madi Huck shut down the second most prolific offense in the Mid-American Conference, allowing only three total runs on 10 hits.
“You can score a lot of runs of offense, but you need a pitcher who can shut down the opponent to win,” coach Eric Oakley said. “Madi pitched excellent and was key for us this weekend.”
Kent State (19-14, 5-4 MAC) was able to secure two victories against MAC West opponent Ball State (24-12, 6-3 MAC), which puts the Flashes back over .
