Baseball Shuts Out Kent State 4-0

KENT, Ohio-- The Miami University baseball team picked up a 4-0 win at Kent State Friday behind masterful pitching from Jonathan Brand and Kenten Egbert. The RedHawks improve to 16-21 (11-13 MAC) while the Golden Flashes drop to 13-19 (8-11 MAC).
 
Zach MacDonald continued his hot streak with two extra-base hits, including his sixth home run of the season. Brand threw seven scoreless innings, picking up his seventh win on the season while lowering his MAC-best ERA to 1.17.
 
 
HOW IT HAPPENED:
  • In the top of the third in a scoreless game, MacDonald hit a home run to right field, putting the RedHawks up 1-0.
  • In top of the sixth, leading 1-0, David Novak doubled down the right-field line. Brian Zapp followed with a single up the middle, extending the RedHawks' lead to 2-0.
  • In the top of the ninth, leading 2-0, William Escala reached base on an error. Escala then stole second and third before Benji Brokemond drove him in with a single. After Brokemond stole second, he scored on a Cole Andrews RBI double, extending the Miami advantage to 4-0.
