New KSU baseball team writing own chapter
NILES, Ohio - Just when most of us in Ohio had forgot it existed, the sun started coming out recently, at least for a few hours at a time.
Vitamin Overdue. It's helped the Kent State baseball team shake one hell of a hangover.
At least in college baseball terms, it may have been the king of hangovers. Last June, Kent State's season of dreams didn't end until just five...

Seawolves coach Matt Senk knew...

Video: Kent State returns punt wrong direction, is awesome
Shut it down. We can all go home. Kent State linebacker Andre Parker just became a star, and not for the right reasons. Actually, it depends how you look at it. Because in our eyes he’s a star, period. A punt grazed a Towson player and Parker grabbed the ball and headed for the end [...]

Kent State player returns fumble the wrong way
Kent State dominated Towson in the first half of their season-opening game on Thursday, but that doesn’t mean they displayed an overall mastery of the game of football. Take for instance what occurred in the play seen above. Kent State was punting to Towson, and the ball touched the returner, making it live. Kent State’s Andre Parker recovered the ball at the six-yard line...
Another unlikely hero for Kent State
OMAHA, Neb. As Kent State kept changing relief pitchers late in Monday's College World Series elimination game in a desperate attempt to find one who'd throw a strike and get a Florida batter out, Jason Bagoly watched nervously from a familiar place in the third base dugout.
Bagoly's night as a player was done in the bottom of the seventh inning; Kent State's starting...

Yes, that's him.
"All of 5'9 and 160 pounds," Kent State coach Scott Stricklin said.

Kent State, other mid-majors making splash
Kent State, St. John's and Stony Brook are heading to the NCAA super regionals, and casual fans who follow college baseball only in June must be asking, "Who are these guys?"
Mid-majors that have invested in their programs are making the road to the College World Series a lot bumpier for the traditional powers.
The unpredictability is great for fans but not so much...
