Rhudy Slams Door on Hatters; Owls Down Stetson 6-5

DELAND, Fla. – A pair of homers and a dominant relief outing from Bo Rhudy led No. 2 Kennesaw State (30-23, 19-10 Atlantic Sun Conference) to a 6-5 win over the hosting No. 3 Stetson Hatters (37-20, 20-10 ASUN) Tuesday afternoon at the 2024 ASUN tournament inside Melching Field.

A four-run second for the Black and Gold set the tone followed by home runs in back-to-back frames to go up 6-1. Stetson scored the next four runs but its rally was cut short by the freshman reliever.

Rhudy, who was named to the 2024 All-ASUN First Team and All-Freshman Team Monday, threw the final two frames without allowing a single hit or run from Stetson – who entered the day 52nd in the nation and second in the conference in hits. He collected his fifth save of the season, tying Tanner Franklin for the team lead.

Jamarie Brooks and 2024 All-ASUN Second Team honoree Isaac Bouton ripped solo-shot, opposite-field jacks in fourth and fifth innings, respectively. Brooks now has a homer in back-to-back games while Bouton marked his 12th of the season and is now tied for eighth in KSU Division I single-season history.
