Kennesaw State Scores 8 Unanswered Runs to Beat UCA
KENNESAW, Ga. – Central Arkansas had put itself in position for a late game rally, cutting Kennesaw State’s lead to only two runs in the fifth inning. But the Owls scored eight unanswered runs in the seventh and eighth innings to win 11-2.
The Bears, for the second-straight day, took an early lead when Kade Seldomridge singled up the middle in the third inning and Bryce Cermenelli brought him in all the way around from first on a double to right field.
But the Owls (19-14, 9-5) answered with three runs in the fourth inning and never trailed again. KSU got a grand slam in a six-run eighth inning to put the game away.
UCA was held to seven hits by seven different players, including a solo home run by freshman left fielder Zeb Allen in the fifth inning, his second of the season. The Owls finished with 16 hits, including three home runs, two by third baseman Isaac Bouton.
The Bears used three pitchers, with starter Charlie Christensen striking out four over 5.1 innings.
The series finale is set for noon Sunday at Stillwell Stadium.
