Rockets Drop Both Games of Saturday Doubleheader against Ball State

TOLEDO, Ohio – Toledo and Ball State continued their Mid-American Conference baseball series with a doubleheader at Scott Park on Saturday. The Rockets dropped the first game, 7-3, before falling in the second game by a score of 10-2.

Both games saw Ball State take an early lead it would not relinquish. Game one was a one-run ballgame heading into the final inning, until a three-run BSU home run in the top of the seventh put the game out of reach for UT. The Rockets fell behind 6-0 in game two and weren't able to work their way back.

Sophomore Jeron Williams had a great day at the plate in game one, going 4-for-4 while scoring two of Toledo's three runs and driving in the other. Senior John Servello went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a double hitting second in the order. Junior Mason Sykes tallied the other RBI in game one for the Rockets.

Servello collected two hits in game two as well, once again going 2-for-4 at the plate. Sophomore Scott Mackiewicz and freshman Caden Konczak each drove in a run. Servello also stole a base in each game, bringing his season total to 12.

Toledo and Ball State will wrap up their series on Sunday at 1:00 p.m.
