KENT STATE - OHIO HISTORY
• Kent State is 70-92-1 all-time against Ohio.
• Last season the Golden Flashes took two out of three games from the Bobcats at home in Kent.
• The last time Ohio took a weekend series from Kent State was in 1998 when they took three out of four games.
WEEKDAY RECAP
• Kent State dominated Oakland in two seven-inning games on Tuesday, winning the first 16-5 and the second 16-1.
• In the first, both teams combined to set a new NCAA Division I record of 14 combined hit batters.
• The Golden Flashes had ten hits in the opening game with six of them for extra bases, including an inside the park homerun by Alex Miklos.
• In the second game, Jeff Revesz hit his first collegiate homerun, that just happened to be a grand slam. Miklos also had a grand slam of his own in the game.
• Michael Clark pitched four hitless innings with two walks and five strikeouts.
• In both games, every starter scored a run.
POWER POPUP
• After hitting just 19 homeruns last season, Kent State has started to find its swing again this year with 9 on the season.
• They got their first round-tripper of the year against Youngstown State on March 19.
• They hit four in Tuesday's 14-inning doubleheader alone.
CLIMBING THE CONFERENCE RANKS
• After the big midweek doubleheader, Kent State's team statistical rankings have improved.
• The team is tied for 1st in batting average, is 2nd in ERA and is 3rd in fielding percentage in the MAC.
PERENNIAL POWERHOUSE
• When it comes to the Mid-American Conference, Kent State has emerged as the forthright frontrunner.
• The Golden Flashes have won either the regular season or tournament championship in 13 of the last 14 seasons.
• They have won three-straight conference titles and the East Division title in seven of the last eight years.
• The program has posted a conference win percentage over .500 in 23 of the last 24 years, putting it in a class of its own.
