Penguins Break from League Grind to Play Kent State on Wednesday

    Youngstown -- The Youngstown State baseball team will take a break from Horizon League action for a game against Kent State on Wednesday at 3 p.m. at KSU's Schoonover Stadium.
    Senior Adam Kalafos will start on the mound against the Golden Flashes, who sit atop the MAC East Division and have an overall record of 24-17. Kalafos has earned the win in his past two starts and earned victories in three straight appearances earlier this month.
    The Penguins enter the midweek contest in the middle of a grind in the Horizon League season. YSU won the finale of a three-game series against Cleveland State on Saturday to remain in third place in the league standings. After the game against Kent State, YSU plays five straight against league leader Wright State, including a three-game set beginning Friday at 7 p.m.
    Wednesday's game will be the last in an April that saw the Penguins improve drastically at the plate. As a team, YSU has batted .323 in the first 22 games this month to up its average to .287. The .323 mark is a staggering 79 points higher than YSU posted during the first 20 games of the season.
    YSU lost the only meeting between the two schools located just more than 40 miles apart from each other. The Penguins and Golden Flashes split two games in 2006 with each squad winning at home.
    The Golden Flashes have won 14 of their last 16 and had been victorious in 12 straight before losing at Duquesne on April 23. Chris Tremblay is batting a team-high .360 and is one of five starters hitting at least .325. Greg Rohan is the reigning MAC East Player of the Week after hitting five of his team-leading 13 home runs in six games last week.
