Last Time Out
Toledo concluded its spring break trip with a three-game series against Bucknell that was played in Kissimmee, Fla.
The Rockets took two out of three from the Bison. After falling 8-7 in game one of the series, UT stormed back to win game two, 15-6, and game three, 10-1.
In the 15-6 win, Toledo scored all of its runs in the first six innings, scoring at least once in each frame and capping off that streak with a five-run sixth inning. Boss was terrific, driving in six of the Rockets' runs and reaching base five times. In the series finale, Bucknell scored first, but the Rockets poured on 10 unanswered runs to clinch the series. Junior
Michael Ryan had the big swing, launching a three-run home run in the seventh inning.
