KENT, OHIO – A day after a pitching-dominated win on the road, Kent State won in the opposite fashion on Wednesday evening at Schoonover Stadium, 13-11 over Canisius.

Twice trailing by a run early in the game, the Golden Flashes hitters posted a four-run inning in the second and then took the lead for good when they batted around in an eight-run fourth. KSU picked up back-to-back RBI hits from Brad Hamilton and Reilly Hawkins to go up 8-5 before Josh Hollander clubbed a bases-clearing triple to give the good guys a 12-5 lead.

On the mound, KSU got shutout relief work from John Schreiber and Zach Spangler. Schreiber picked up the win, his second of the year. Kent State pitchers struck out a combined seven Griffins' hitters.

In KSU's four-run second, the Golden Flashes picked up their first home run of the home season when Reilly Hawkins blasted one off the scoreboard. In total, six KSU hitters logged multi-hit games. Kent State finished the game with 16 hits.

KSU will entertain Northern Illinois on Friday at 6 p.m.
