BUFFALO, N.Y. - Sophomore Riley Mohr drove in seven runs and sophomore Macey Moore went 5-for-6 at the plate to propel the Toledo softball team (13-9, 3-3 MAC) to a pair of 10-2 run-rule victories over Buffalo (4-15, 2-4 MAC) on Saturday afternoon at Nan Harvey Field.

The Rockets pounded out 20 hits on the day with junior Anna Dixon (3-for-6, 3 RBI) joining Mohr and Moore with three or more hits during the doubleheader sweep.

"I thought we had great at-bats and put pressure on them all day," Head Coach Joe Abraham said. "We had a ton of good takes, clutch hits and some very good catches in the outfield."

Senior Erin Hunt (9-6) started both games in the circle for Toledo and allowed just five hits over 11 innings.

"Erin struggled in the first inning of both games but got into a groove after that," Abraham said. "It was good having Erin pitch the way she did, and I really liked how we came out focused and loose which is how you want to be."

The two teams will close out the weekend series tomorrow weather permitting with a doubleheader set to begin at noon.

GAME 1

Buffalo took an early 1-0 lead with an unearned run in the opening frame.
Macey Moore evened the score at 1-1 when she led off the second inning with her second homer of the season.
Two-out singles from Riley Mohr and Anna Dixon put Toledo ahead to stay, 3-1, in the top of the third.
Mohr's RBI groundout extended the Rockets' cushion to 4-1 in the top of fifth.
Anna Aguon's two-out homer in the bottom of the fifth cut the Bulls' deficit to 4-2.
Toledo blew the game open with a six-run sixth that Dixon capped off with a two-run double.

GAME 2

Dayna Denner blasted her eighth homer of the season over the right-center field fence in the first to give the Rockets an early 1-0 lead.
The Bulls answered with single runs in the first and second inning to take a 2-1 advantage.
Toledo broke through for four runs in the fourth after being limited to just Denner's homer in the first three innings.
Mohr's sacrifice fly tied the score at 2-2, with Aleah Marra's two-run triple give the Rockets the lead for good.
The Rockets added five more in the fifth with the big blow coming on Mohr's three-run double.
