Spring sports have officially kicked off for Kennesaw State and the baseball team is off to a solid start. The Owls won their first four games of the year, including a 2-1 victory over Georgia, before losing three straight to Radford. The Owls then took down Auburn and Alabama State before losing three consecutive games to Middle Tennessee State this past weekend.
In Friday’s game, the Owls were overwhelmed by the Raiders in an 11-1 loss. The Owls were led by Peyton Hart, who went 3-for-4 at the plate. On Sunday, the Owls played MTSU in a doubleheader and once again could not muster any offense, losing 5-2 in Game 1 and 6-1 in Game 2.
“We just don’t have a whole lot of offense right now,” head coach Mike Sansing told ksuowls.com. “We haven’t been able to string together back-to-back hits and create scoring opportunities and it has cost us.”
Bo Way was the Owls’ leading hitter in Game 1, going 2-for-4 and scoring a run. Clint Wynn led the way in Game 2, going 1-for-3 while driving in the Owls’ only run. The Owls will look to the get the offense back on track this weekend as they face Evansville in a three-game series.
