Weekend Scouting Report – Kennesaw State
Kennesaw State, from Kennesaw GA, was a preseason pick, along with Stetson, as one of the two favorites in the 2008 Atlantic Sun Conference race. This past week, Kennesaw topped Stetson, taking two out of three, to establish themselves as the early favorite for the conference crown.
The Owls had three players selected to the preseason all conference team. Starting pitcher Kyle Heckathorn, second baseman Jacob Robbins, and outfielder Martin Baker each received the honor from the opposing coaches around the conference.
Going into today’s game with Wake Forest, Kennesaw held a 4-3 season record, having taken two out of three from both the aforementioned Stetson squad and the Samford Bulldogs to kick the season off. Sandwich between those two series was a single game loss to fellow Wiregrass Classic participant Troy. Kennesaw State will be looking to avenge that loss when they wrap the tournament up against Troy on Sunday.
KSU used their top starters during their important Tues-Wed-Thur conference matchup with Stetson, so PSU is apt to get the Owls #5 starter in their matchup on Saturday. That’s a break for the Nits.
