Perfect Ten! Rockets' Win Streak at 10 Games After 7-6 Win Over Austin Peay

TOLEDO, Ohio – Toledo stretched its winning streak to 10 games on Sunday afternoon by downing non-conference foe Austin Peay, 7-6, at Scott Park. The Rockets' 10-game unbeaten stretch is their longest since winning 11 in a row in 2011.

"Today's victory was a lot closer than we like, but a win is a win and we'll take it," Head Coach Rob Reinstetle said. "Wins are hard to come by, and sweeping a weekend is even harder. I'm really proud of the team and how we've handled ourselves. We can celebrate this weekend, but it's back to business tomorrow."

Senior John Servello and sophomore Jeron Williams each tallied a team-high three hits for Toledo (25-17), with Servello collecting a team-high four RBIs and Williams scoring a team-best three runs.

Sophomore Camryn Szynski (2-2) earned the victory by allowing six hits and just two runs in five innings. Sophomore Connor Brandon closed out the contest by fanning two batters in the ninth to register his first save.

Toledo is back in action on Tuesday, May 3 with a 3:00 p.m. make-up game vs. Miami at Scott Park. The Rockets will then travel down I-75 to face Bowling Green in a four-game series on Friday-Sunday, May 6-8.

"We have a huge week ahead of us," Reinstetle said. "We play a rare mid-week game vs. Miami, and then we visit our rivals down south, which is always a big series."

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Austin Peay took a 1-0 lead on TJ Foreman's solo homer in the first inning.
  • The Rockets knotted the score in the bottom of the frame on John Servello's RBI single to center.
  • Toledo took the lead for good with two runs in the third. Jeron Williams scored from second when Austin Peay pitcher Drew McIllwain's pick-off attempt went into center field. Servello drove in his second run with a solo blast to center.
  • The Governors closed to within 3-2 in the fifth, but Servello delivered again with a two-run single to put Toledo ahead 5-2. The Rockets tacked on another run thanks to a wild pitch.
  • Darryn Davis increased UT's lead to 7-2 with a solo homer in the sixth.
  • The Governors made it a one-run game with four runs in the seventh, but the Rockets retired them in order in the eighth and ninth innings.
