Rockets Pick Up Two Wins on Day Two of Spring Games

MADEIRA BEACH, Fla. – Toledo won two of three games on Friday on its second day at The Spring Games in Madeira Beach, Fla. The Rockets opened the day by completing a 9-1 win over Niagara in a game that was suspended on Thursday. UT then rebounded from 8-1 defeat to Purdue by posting a 5-2 victory over Bucknell.

In the first game of the day, Toledo resumed play with a 6-1 lead over Niagara in the top of the second. Senior Dayna Denner hit an RBI single to get the Rockets' offense going again in the third to extend the lead to 7-1. Sophomore Riley Mohr's RBI double followed by freshman Kendra VanderLugt's run-scoring single accounted for Toledo's final two runs. Freshman Sophia Knight struck out a season-high nine batters to pick up the win.

Toledo took the field with Purdue in the second game of the day and trailed 6-0 early. Senior Aubrey Reed drew a bases-loaded walk with no outs but the Rockets couldn't add any more runs. The Boilermakers added two more in the sixth for the final margin of victory.

Denner got the Rockets going against Bucknell with a solo homer in the first inning, her fifth of the year. The Rockets led 4-0 when after VanderLugt blasted her first home run of the season. The Bison answered in the fourth with two runs, but sophomore Jenna Kroll's solo blast in the seventh provided the Rockets with some insurance.
