Four Rockets recorded a hit as junior CF Alyssa Smith went 1-for-3, freshman 1B Celeste Fidge went 1-for-3, junior OF Mareshah Scott went 1-for-1 with a pinch-hit single, and freshman 2B Ashley London also went 1-for-3.

Buffalo took an early lead in the bottom of the second inning, when they hit a solo home run to left field. The Bulls added a second run in the fifth inning on a sacrifice fly to left field.
In the top of the third, Toledo was threatening after sophomore LF reached base on a fielding error. Lemieux stole second and advanced to third on a single by Smith, but was stranded when senior 3B Lani Ernst fouled out.
The Rockets will conclude the weekend with a single game against the Bulls at 1:00 p.m.
