Toledo Swept in Sunday Doubleheader at Western Michigan

 
KALAMAZOO, Mich. – The Toledo baseball team lost both games of its doubleheader at Western Michigan on Sunday.
 
Originally scheduled to be a seven-inning game followed by a nine-inning game, WMU captured the first contest by a score of 4-3 in eight innings. By virtue of the first game going to extras, the second game was changed to a seven-inning game, which the Broncos won 9-4.
 
Toledo had a 3-2 lead heading into the bottom of the seventh in game one, but a two-out, game-tying single by Western Michigan pushed the game into extra innings. After Toledo was unable to push across a run in the top of the eighth, WMU won the game with an RBI double in the bottom half of the inning.
 
Game two was tied at 3-3 after four frames, but the Broncos' bats exploded for five runs in the bottom of the fifth to take a commanding 8-3 lead that the Rockets could not overcome.
 
Senior John Servello drove in a run in each contest on Sunday and had a three-hit performance in game one. Redshirt freshman Trey Wright went 2-for-4 at the plate in the first contest, while sophomore Scott Mackiewicz and junior Justin Diaz drove in the other Toledo runs. Junior Kyle Jones started on the mound, striking out six in six innings.
 
In game two, freshman Garret Pike went 2-for-3 at the plate and drove in a run. Junior Mason Sykes and freshman Brian Fry both tallied RBIs in the second game as well.
 
UT and WMU will wrap up their weekend series with a doubleheader on Monday beginning at noon.
 
How it Happened (Game 1)
  • Western Michigan scored on an error in the bottom of the first to take an early lead.
  • Diaz tied it up at 1-1 with an RBI single in the top of the second.
  • The Rockets took a 2-1 lead on Servello's RBI base hit in the top of the third.
  • Neither team scored again until the top of the seventh, when Mackiewicz ripped a two-out double into the gap in right-center field to make it 3-1.
  • Trailing by two, the Broncos scored twice in the bottom of the seventh inning to send the game into extras.
  • The Rockets had a chance in the top of the eighth, putting runners at the corners with no outs, but couldn't bring either runner home.
  • Western Michigan's Cade Sullivan drove in the game-winning run on a walk-off double.
 
How it Happened (Game 2)
  • The Broncos scored three runs in the first two innings to take a 3-0 lead.
  • The Rockets tied it up at 3-3 with a three-run top of the fourth. Servello's RBI double got UT on the board in game two, and he later came around to score on Pike's base hit into center field. Fry's infield single brought in Wright and tied the score at 3-3.
  • Western Michigan plated five runs in the bottom of the fifth to take a five-run lead, 8-3.
  • The Broncos added a run in the bottom of the sixth to make it 9-3.
  • Sykes' sac fly in the top of the seventh drove in another run for Toledo, but that would be the final run of the game.
