Rockets Claim Series With 6-3 Victory Over Kent State

KENT, Ohio - The Toledo softball team claimed a series victory over the defending Mid-American Conference champions Kent State with a 6-3 win at the Diamond at Dix on Sunday afternoon. The Rockets won two of three games on the weekend and are now 21-13 on the year, 5-1 in the MAC.

Toledo 6, Kent State 3
The Rockets took a one-run lead in the middle innings and added an insurance two-run home run in the seventh to win the series.

Junior Katie Cozy and freshman Bailey Curry provided the run production for the Rockets as both players hit two-run homers in the contest.

Junior Kailey Minarchick picked up her 11th win in relief. Minarchick entered in the fourth inning and tossed 3.2 scoreless frames on four hits.

How it Happened
  • Freshman Kylie Norwood doubled leading off the game, but UT failed to capitalize on the early opportunity as she was left stranded.
  • The Rockets broke through in the second inning to take a 1-0 lead. Freshman Bekah Yenrick singled and scored from first on an RBI double by junior Megan Choate. 
  • Toledo extended its lead to 3-0 with a pair in the third. Freshman Bailey Curry reached on a fielder's choice and Cozy crushed a 2-2 offering for a two-out, two-run homer.
  • Kent State came right back to even the score at 3-3 in the bottom of the third. A single and a four-pitch walk put two runners aboard to set the stage. A three-run home run by the Golden Flashes knotted the game with one swing of the bat.
  • The Rockets were unfazed and regained a 4-3 lead in the next half-inning. Choate and freshman Ami Ill each drew walks and moved up on a wild pitch. Junior Kaitlyn Bergman flied out to deep center field to allow Choate to tag and score from third.
  • Minarchick allowed multiple base runners in each of the next three innings, but was able to record clutch outs to get out of each jam.
  • Freshman Ebony Garza reached on a fielder's choice with two outs in the seventh to give Curry her fourth chance at the plate. Curry delivered with her eighth blast of the year to put Toledo up 6-3. Curry now sits alone with the third most HRs in a single season at UT.
  • Minarchick retired the Golden Flashes in order in the seventh to close out the game.
The Rockets are scheduled to host Eastern Michigan for a divisional doubleheader on Tuesday, April 3 at Scott Park.
