Delaney Nagy started and threw 5.1 innings allowing six hits and four earned runs. Ella Johnson picked up the win throwing 0.2 innings of relief.
 
How it Happened:

  • Olivia Trombley only faced six batters in the first two innings highlighted by a 5-4 pop out double play in the second inning.
  • Kent State struck first in the bottom of the 3rd as Savannah Wing led off the inning with a solo home run.
  • Two singles and a throwing error loaded the bases with zero outs in the 3rd, then an Aaralyn Nogay fielder's choice and a Delany Robeson single added two more runs in the inning to put the Flashes up 3-0.
  • Towson responded the next inning as Taylor Broadbent hit her first collegiate homerun to put the Tigers on the board.
  • However, in the bottom half of the 4th Kent State put runners on the corners with two outs and Carley Penner singled through the right side to restore the Flash's three-run lead.
  • The Tigers rallied in the top of the 6th as Broadbent led off with a double then scored on a Madyson Peters single before Kristin Toland hit a two-run home run to tie the game at 4.
  • Two Kent State singles and a groundout put runners on second and third with two outs in the bottom of the 6th. The Flashes then saw consecutively a Nogay triple, a Robeson single, a Katie Jo Moery double and a Kendal Leitner single score five runs to make it 9-4 Kent State.
  • Giattino and Broadbent led off the top of the 7th with a pair of singles and both scored on another pair of singles by Peters and Toland. But Kent State closed the game from there and the Tigers fell 9-6.
