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.
