The Kent State baseball team’s patience and loaded pitching staff paid off for the Flashes on Friday, as starter Jared Skolnicki threw 8 2/3 stellar innings in their 7-2 win over Miami (OH) at Sprenger Stadium in Avon, Ohio.
Skolnicki, a senior, threw 99 pitches in his near complete game, but got pulled in the ninth after surrendering two runs.
“It was one of the better games we’ve played all year,” Kent State coach Jeff Duncan said. “We’ve played good baseball all year long. Skolnicki’s start was gutsy. His changeup was really good, and his fastball was heavy.
