Toledo Falls at Elon, 13-2

ELON, N.C. – The Toledo baseball team dropped its Saturday contest at Elon by a score of 13-2.

After winning the opener on Friday, the Rockets were unable to stop a Phoenix offensive attack that plated 13 runs on 10 hits.

"This was a tale of two different days," head coach Rob Reinstetle said. "Last night we played excellent baseball in all three phases of the game, and today was a totally different story. For the first time all year we didn't play solid defense or pitch well and it came back to bite us. We beat ourselves, plain and simple. Baseball is a humbling game. Just when you feel like all is right, you get a game like today. It's not indicative of who we are as a team at all. I expect us to come back tomorrow and play our brand of baseball. As bad as today was, we still can win the weekend series and walk out of here feeling good about things heading into MAC play."

The middle of the lineup provided the bulk of the offense on Saturday. Juniors Mason Sykes and Darryn Davis tallied three hits and two hits, respectively, and both hit solo home runs. Junior Kade Wroot, sophomore Jeron Williams, and freshman Brian Fry each tallied a hit on Saturday as well.

Seven different pitchers saw time on the mound for Toledo. Sophomore CJ Lewis, redshirt freshman Patrick Dillon, sophomore Gavin Starcher, and redshirt freshman Luke Scoles all registered scoreless appearances out of the bullpen.

Toledo and Elon will meet for the series finale on Sunday at noon.

How it Happened
  • Davis blasted his second home run of the season in the top of the first inning to give UT an early lead.
  • Elon answered with four runs in the bottom of the first, all of which came with two outs.
  • The Phoenix continued to pour it on, scoring one run in the bottom of the second and four runs each in the bottom of the third and fourth. Nine of Elon's 13 runs were scored with two outs.
  • Sykes crushed the first pitch he saw in the top of the sixth for a home run, his second of the weekend and fourth in his last three games.
  • The bullpen held Elon scoreless from the fifth inning on, but Toledo could not overcome its early deficit.
