The Rockets (28-19, 19-13 MAC) and Falcons (15-30, 12-22 MAC) will be meeting out of conference play on Tuesday after playing a four-game Mid-American Conference series at Stellar Field this past weekend. Both teams came away with a pair of victories in the series split.

Last Time Out
Toledo and Bowling Green played a pair of doubleheaders this past weekend due to weather wiping out the single game on Friday. The Rockets won the first game of each twin bill, while the Falcons captured game two both days.

Kyle Jones was outstanding in game one on Saturday, throwing six innings and striking out six while allowing just one run and walking none. The 6-1 win was Toledo's 12^th straight, which set a new school record for longest winning streak. That streak ended later in the day when Bowling Green won game two, 7-6.

The first game on Sunday was a low-scoring affair that Toledo won, 1-0. John Servello's fourth-inning home run proved to be the difference as Camryn Szynski, Patrick Dillon, and Cal McAninch combined to blank the Falcons in seven innings. BGSU would bounce back to win the second game, 7-1.

2021 at Fifth Third Field
Toledo defeated Bowling Green, 5-2, in front of more than 2,500 fans last year at Fifth Third Field.

The Falcons scored the first run of the game, but the Rockets answered with two in the bottom of the second and would not trail for the rest of the night. Bowling Green was not without scoring opportunities, leaving seven runners on base in the final three innings, failing to score in the ninth inning with the bases loaded and nobody out.

Toledo received gutsy pitching performances from Layne Schnitz-Paxton and Jordan Power. Schnitz-Paxton started the game and pitched six innings, striking out two while allowing two runs. Power came in with the bases loaded and no outs in the top of the seventh and allowed just one inherited runner to score, and stranded two runners in the eighth and three in the ninth to earn his second save of the year.

At the plate John Servello, Chris Meyers, and Zach Schwartzenberger all had two hits apiece. Both of Servello's hits went for extra bases, including a solo home run in the bottom of the fifth, his sixth of the year. Schwartzenberger drove in two runs, while Meyers and Marcus Strother both tallied an RBI to help the cause.
