COLUMBUS, Ohio – A two-run lead heading to the bottom of the seventh inning wasn't enough for Kent State, as Ohio State plated three in the frame for a 4-3 walk-off victory in its home opener at Buckeye Field on Tuesday.
The Golden Flashes (6-16) were led by a trio of freshmen. Macy Irelan got the starting assignment in the circle and held the Buckeyes to one hit over three scoreless innings. Bri Despines and Brynn Libler had two hits apiece and drove in all three of the team's run.
