Toledo Walks Off against Quinnipiac, 9-8

Richmond, Va. — The Toledo baseball team won a wild one on Friday, taking down Quinnipiac 9-8 in 10 innings. Freshman Darryn Davis tallied the walk-off hit in the bottom of the 10th.

The Rockets held a lead for nearly the entire game until the Bobcats roared back with five runs in the top of the ninth to tie the game at 7-7. After Quinnipiac took an 8-7 lead with a solo home run in the top of the 10th, Toledo scored twice in the bottom half to cap a thrilling win at Pitt Field in Richmond, Va.

Davis was the star at the plate, recording a career-high five hits to become the first Rocket with five hits since Matt Hansen (May 25, 2017). Fellow freshman Thomas Eitniear was 3-for-3, walked twice, and scored the game-winning run. Freshman Ryan Thompson, sophomore John Servello, and junior Michael Ryan all tallied two hits, while both Ryan and sophomore Chris Meyers drove in two runs. Senior Michael Jacob threw six strong innings on the mound, and UT received scoreless innings out of the bullpen from junior Austin Calopietro and senior Luke Schaefer.

Toledo will play Richmond on Saturday at 2:00 p.m. at Pitt Field.

How It Happened
  • Senior Brad Boss and Servello led off the bottom of the first with back-to-back hits, and they were both driven in by Meyers and Davis, respectively.
  • Quinnipiac tied the game at 2-2 in the top of the fourth with a pair of one-out RBI hits. Those were the only runs Jacob allowed on the day.
  • Ryan ripped a double down the line in left field to bring home two runs and freshman Danny Murphy drove in a run to give the Rockets a 5-2 advantage in the bottom of the fourth.
  • Servello made it 6-2 with an RBI single in the bottom of the seventh, and sophomore David Jeffers had a clutch pinch-hit, RBI single in the eighth inning to put Toledo ahead 7-2.
  • The top of the ninth did not go as planned for Toledo. The Bobcats scored five runs, four of which came with two outs, to tie the game at 7-7. The tying run scored on a single up the middle.
  • Quinnipiac overtook the Rockets with a solo home run in the top of the 10th to take an 8-7 lead.
  • Thompson started off the bottom of the 10th with a base hit to right field. Jeffers bunted him over, and Eitniear singled to advance Thompson to third. Servello walked to load the bases with two outs, and Toledo then tied the game when Meyers was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.
  • Davis stepped to the plate and smacked an 0-1 pitch right back up the middle to bring home the winning run and cap a wild 9-8 win.
