Burns leads Flashes
AKRON — Former Wellsville High School standout Gabrielle Burns pitched Kent State University into the NCAA softball tournament.
Burns tossed a two-hitter Saturday as Kent State became the first school in six years to win both the Mid-American Conference’s regular season and tournament titles with a 5-0 win over Ohio University at Firestone Stadium.
“It’s an amazing thing,” Burns said. “It’s been a long time since a team has won the regular season and the tournament. It was up in the air as to who was pitching today, depending on who we play and I’m just ecstatic right now.”
Burns is 19-5 with a 1.07 ERA in 169 2/3 innings this season. She has 216 strikeouts and is holding opponents to a .153 batting average.
