Last Time Out
The Rockets visited MAC foe Ohio this past weekend, and dropped two out of three to the Bobcats.
Friday night, UT lost 16-5 to OU. Toledo scored the first run of the game in the top of the first on an RBI single from sophomore Trace Hatfield. Ohio, however, put together three big offensive innings in its victory, scoring five runs in the third, four in the fifth, and five in the sixth. OU tacked on another two runs in the bottom of the eighth, while UT added four in the top of the ninth.
In Saturday's doubleheader, UT never led in game one, and did not score its first runs of the game until the ninth inning. Game two was a different story as the Rockets took an early lead over the Bobcats. After Ohio took the lead for the middle innings, Toledo scored nine runs over the final four frames of the game to reach double digits and secure the victory.

Rocket Notes
- Sophomore Drew Compton had quite the week. He made his collegiate debut on Tuesday, tallied his first extra-base hit and RBI on Friday, and made his first-career start on Saturday, when he went 2-for-4 with three RBIs and a home run.
- Saturday marked the sixth doubleheader of the season for Toledo, only one of which was originally scheduled.
- Riley Campbell has been hit by a pitcher 12 times this season, most in the MAC.
- Brad Boss recently drew the 100th walk of his career, making him the fourth Rocket to ever reach that milestone in program history.
