Last Time Out
Toledo took two out of three games from Northern Illinois last weekend. The Rockets came back in Friday's game to win, 6-3, in 10 innings before dismantling the Huskies, 15-0, on Saturday. The series sweep was spoiled on Sunday with a 12-4 loss to NIU.

UT trailed for much of the game on Friday before senior AJ Montoya tied the game with a two-run home run. In the top of the tenth, freshman Trace Hatfield laced a single up the middle, scoring two to give the Rockets their first lead of the afternoon.

Toledo dominated on Saturday, pounding out 19 hits and holding Northern Illinois scoreless. Senior Sam Shutes tossed seven shutout innings to earn his eighth win of the season. It was his third start of the season in which he threw at least seven scoreless innings. Senior Corey Tipton had a career-high four hits, including three doubles, to go with his four RBIs and three runs. Junior Ross Adolph smacked his MAC-leading 12th home run of the season and tied his career high with four hits.
