Thirteen Kent State baseball players earn Academic All-MAC honors, reflecting the program's emphasis on scholarship and sport.

Kent State’s 6‑1 victory over Western Michigan was highlighted by a three‑run seventh inning, 12 hits and standout performances from Alejandro Covas, Luke Matthews and Sawyer Solitaria, setting up a Saturday clash with the Toledo‑Northern Illinois loser.

Alejandro Covas went 4-for-4 with a three-run homer, while the Flashes' pitching staff limited Western Michigan to a single run.

Toledo erupted early with a three-run burst from Cade Baker, extending their lead to 7-1 before Kent State mounted a comeback that ultimately couldn't close the gap.
