Raiders Nip Golden Flashes
Nation's winningest road team narrowly misses win no. 21
FAIRBORN, OHIO – One bad inning was Kent State's undoing Tuesday afternoon in an 8-6 loss to Horizon League leader Wright State.
In a far-too-infrequent match-up of two programs which have combined for nine NCAA Regional appearances since 2009, the Golden Flashes (28-13) took an early 4-2 lead on a bases-clearing double by Mason Mamarella. But the Raiders (29-13) tallied single runs over the next two frames to tie it, 4-4. That brought an end to rookie starter Ryan Lane's day and set the stage for the game-deciding fifth.
