Oregon has loaded the bases in the 9th trailing 7-4. No outs. Kent St freshman All-American gets pulled after not getting an out in the 9th.

Wow what a finish!

Kent St wins

Oregon's 9 hole hitter hit a ball square on the nose to Left Center on the first pitch. Kent St CF makes a running catch fully extended to save the game.

Congrats to Kent St one game away from the CWS.

Maybe a little bit of rumors going on with Kent State's coach...

He may get (or attempted to be) wooed away by Michigan, who has a vacancy. Apparently Kent State's coach is the real deal and the next big time coach.

Ohio State has whiffed twice by not hiring him.

My daughter's friend just hit a homer in the 10th to help Florida win, they are going to Omaha. :) 3rd time is a charm.

I hope Kent St & Stony Brook make it.

Sawyer Polen is the starting 3B for Kent State and had an RBI single, walk, and run scored (ended up being winning/7th run) in their win over Oregon.

Can anyone explain to me why the B1G is so bad at baseball? Is it strictly a climate-based thing?

Lots of northern schools make that case, but look at who this thread is about. Weather seems like a convenient excuse to me

Kent St catcher threw out a Duck stealing 2nd, then threw out a runner on 1st in the same inning. Impressive plays. Kent St up 2-0 bottom 4th as the home team in Oregon.

I think it's just a secondary sport for them, he'll Wisconsin doesn't even have a team. OSU has a huge budget and it shouldn't be forgotten there, but it is.
