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.

Kent State’s baseball squad clinched a 3‑1 win over Miami in the opening round of the 2026 Mid‑American Conference tournament, moving the Golden Flashes one step closer to a repeat championship after their 2010 heartbreak.

The Mid-American Conference announced its 2026 baseball postseason awards, highlighting Kent State’s ten honorees, including Co‑Defensive Player of the Year Micah Rienstra‑Kiracofe and First‑Team All‑MAC pitcher Brody Williams.

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.

The Golden Flashes secured a series win, a first-round bye, and a chance at consecutive regular-season titles.

A clutch home run, a timely double and a fielding miscue shaped the outcome of a high‑stakes college baseball game.

Kent State’s 4‑3 win over Toledo hinged on Brody Williams’ early homer, Troy Sudbrook’s fourth‑inning double and an eighth‑inning misplay that handed the Flash the lead, setting the stage for a doubleheader tomorrow at Scott Park.
