Show notes

The architect of one of the biggest series wins to date this season, Kent State head coach Jeff Duncan, joins the show after his Golden Flashes went into Knoxville and took a series and nearly a sweep of a top-15 Tennessee team. He talks about the team's early-season success and how the trip to LSU for a midweek game helped propel his squad past the Volunteers. He also discusses the impact of the Flashes' defensive prowess up the middle and how a fall workout has become a rallying cry for his players.

Later, we’ll have D1Baseball Midwest analyst Burke Granger joining the show to talk about the Flashes and the sustainability of their early-season success.
