KENT- The Kent State Golden Flashes baseball team took game one of the three game series against the rival Akron Zips by a score of 15-5
Akron came out swinging and jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first thanks to two homers to left field. Kent State would answer right back with three runs of their own in the bottom half. Brody Williams got the Flashes on the board with a two-run double that bounced off the left field wall and Hunter Klotz would tie the game just a few pitches later scoring Williams on an RBI single.
