Rockets Split Opening Day of USF Showcase

Clearwater, Fla. - The Toledo softball team opened the USF Showcase in Clearwater, Fla, today with a 5-2 loss to Army in the morning and a 9-8 shootout victory over St. John's in the evening. The Rockets' day was highlighted by senior Kailey Minarchick earning her first win of the season and freshman Aubrey Reed going on an offensive tear against the Red Storm.
 
Game 1: Army 5, Toledo 2
  • Toledo opened scoring in the first with an RBI single from sophomore Bekah Yenrick that brought in senior Katie Cozy.
  • The lead didn't last long, though. Army came out in the bottom of the frame and scored three runs due to a UT error, a triple from Carrie Reilly and a double from Katie Ontiveros.
  • The Black Knights added another run in the second when Ashley Yoo hit a bases-loaded grounder that allowed one to score. Army kept rolling into the fourth when Yoo brought in another off a double down the left field line.
  • Senior Kaitlyn Bergman drove in Toledo's final run of the game in the fifth when she was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, allowing Cozy to touch home.

Game 2: Toledo 9, St. John's 8
  • Game two of the day was an offensive shootout from start to finish. The Rockets' put the first run up in the first inning thanks to a fielder's choice that took Cozy out, but allowed sophomore Kylie Norwood to score.
  • The Midnight Blue and Gold tacked on five more in the next frame thanks to a single from Reed, a triple from freshman Brianna Robeson, a passed ball, and an obstruction call that favored Norwood.
  • St. John's began to start their offensive push in the third. Gretchen Bowie earned a walk and stole second to get into scoring position. Marissa Rizzi then singled to bring around Bowie and put one up and make the score 6-1 UT.
  • The game opened up in an exciting fourth inning that featured six hits and six runs between the two sides. SJ got it going in the top of the fourth when, with two runners on, Kamryn Tiumalu  popped a single to bring one in. Bowie then tripled with the bases loaded to bring the Red Storm within one of the Rockets. A final single brought in Bowie and tied things at six apiece. Toledo answered right away in the bottom of the frame when Cozy hit an RBI double to bring in Norwood.
  • UT quickly dealt away St. John's batters in the top of the fifth and retook the lead in the bottom half of the inning. Following a double from sophomore Ami Ill that put her on third, Reed stepped up to bat and crushed one down the middle for her first career home run that made the score 9-6.
  • The Red Storm had a final push in the sixth inning that saw Rizzi and Peyton Cody each add one to the board but their efforts weren't enough to best the Rockets.
