KENNESAW, Ga. – The Owls extended their winning streak to six games behind another offensive masterpiece versus Binghamton in a 10-1 victory inside Stillwell Stadium.

On the first pitch that he saw in the second inning, Jaylen Smith belted a home run to left field to give Kennesaw State a 2-0 advantage. Smith recorded his second RBI of the night in the fourth inning, when the Lithonia, Ga., native pushed home a run with a ground ball to the short stop.

Binghamton plated its only run of the ballgame in the fifth inning with a sacrifice fly to center field.

The Owls retaliated in the bottom of the inning when Garrett Hodges lined a single up the middle to score Jake Franklin and David Chabut and push the KSU advantage to 5-1.
Kennesaw State put together a five-run sixth inning to put the game out of reach. With runners on first and second and no outs, Justin Russell pinch hit for Darius Diaz and mashed a three-run home run to right field for his first home run of the season.

The Owls continued to pile on runs as Tyler Tolve scored on a triple off of the bat of Chabut. Franklin plated Chabut with a sacrifice fly to left field for the Owls final run of the game.
