Rockets Fall to Ohio in Round Two of MAC Tournament

Akron, Ohio - The No. 7 seed Toledo softball team fell 7-1 to No. 3 seed Ohio today in the second round of the Mid-American Conference Tournament. The Rockets were held to just four hits and gave up six walks en route to their first loss of the double elimination tournament. The Midnight Blue and Gold's lone run came on a solo homer from junior Samantha Golden in the top of the fourth inning, helping Toledo avoid the shutout.
 
Toledo's next game is against No. 4 seed Northern Illinois tomorrow, with first pitch set for noon. Due to possible rain, fans are encouraged to check UTRockets.com and @ToledoSoftball on Twitter for updates.
 
How it happened
  • Toledo looked to start strong in the first inning as senior Megan Choate singled through the right side and fellow fourth-year Katie Cozy took one to the body. Both runners were left on the bags though as the Bobcats dealt away the side.
  • The Rockets then found themselves in a jam in the bottom of the opening frame as the first seven Bobcats found their way to first base thanks to three singles, three walks, and a fielder's choice. Ohio's offensive might and patience at the plate resulted in the Hunter Green and White leading 4-0 after one inning of play.
  • Ohio added two more runs in the second thanks to a pair of singles, followed by a walk, and an RBI single. With the bases loaded, Mackenzie Brunswick was hit by a pitch to bring in another run to make it 6-0 Ohio.
  • Madi McCrady walked for the Rockets to lead off the third but  two pop ups and a groundout kept Toledo from rallying.
  • Toledo was finally able to put a run up in the fourth thanks to Golden who stepped up with two outs on the board and hit her third dinger of the season, cutting the lead to 6-1.
  • The closest Toledo would get to scoring again wouldn't be until the seventh inning. Ill opened the final frame with a single to center, and gained an extra base on an error from the center fielder. Sophomore Kylie Norwood struck out next but a sac bunt from Choate moved Ill to third. Senior Katie Cozy then walked to put runners in the corners but a final strikeout closed out the game.
