Toledo Falls at Eastern Michigan, 6-5

Ypsilanti, Mich.— The Toledo baseball team wrapped up its weekend series at Eastern Michigan with a 6-5 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

The Rockets took a 4-1 lead after scoring three in the fourth inning, but EMU answered back with a four-run fifth to take the lead for good and complete the series sweep.

Sophomore Zach Schwartzenberger was the top hitter on Sunday, going 3-for-3 with two doubles and two RBIs. Fellow sophomores Drew Compton and Chris Meyers, as well as freshman Ryan Thompson, all had two hits on the day. Meyers and freshman Danny Murphy both drove in runs. Senior Michael Jacob started on the mound and contributed five innings, with junior Austin Calopietro following that up with three innings out of the bullpen and six strikeouts.

Toledo's next games will be next weekend at Kent State during a three-game conference series with the Golden Flashes.

How it Happened
  • Eastern Michigan took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first on a sacrifice fly. Back-to-back singles put runners at the corners, and the deep fly ball to right field was enough to bring a runner in and put UT in a 1-0 hole.
  • Meyers drove home Schwartzenberger in the top of the third to tie the game at 1-1.
  • The Rockets took the lead with a three-run fourth inning. Schwartzenberger doubled in two runs, then later came around to score on an RBI single by Murphy to make the score 4-1.
  • EMU retook the lead in the bottom of the fifth, scoring four runs to take a 5-4 advantage. After two quick outs, the next five Eastern Michigan hitters reached base and stole four bases in the most productive offensive inning for either team on the day.
  • The Eagles added a run on an RBI single in the bottom of the sixth to make it 6-4.
  • Boss drove in a run on a sacrifice fly in the seventh to put Toledo within one, 6-5.
  • A potential game-tying sacrifice fly in the top of the eighth for Toledo instead turned into an inning-ending double play to keep the Rockets trailing by one. The fly ball to right field was easily caught, and a good throw by the right fielder nabbed the runner at home to end the inning.
  • Toledo had runners on the corners in the top of the ninth, but could not push across the tying run.
