Flashes drop series at No. 7 Arkansas, but pick up first top 10 win since 2012

The Kent State baseball team jumped out to early leads in all three games against No. 7 Arkansas this weekend; however, the Razorbacks were able to respond in two of them.

Kent State (7-5) faced perhaps their toughest opponent on their schedule this season against Arkansas (11-4).

“They’re very good; they’ve been picked by many to go to (the College World Series in) Omaha and even possibly win it,” Kent State coach Jeff Duncan said.

The Flashes jumped out to an early 1-0 lead when senior right fielder Nick Kanavas smacked a home run to left field.
