Rockets Earn a Split in Day Two at UCF Invitational

Erin Hunt throws two-hit shutout in 4-0 win over North Dakota

ORLANDO, Fla. – The Toledo softball team split its second day at the UCF Invitational on Saturday in Orlando, Fla. The Rockets opened the day with a 4-0 shutout vs. North Dakota before falling 9-1 to UCF.

Senior Erin Hunt went the distance in the win over North Dakota, giving up two hits and striking out six. Senior Anna Dixon went 3-for-3 and junior Leah Tipple had two hits and an RBI to lead the Rocket offense. Toledo took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Dixon scored on a fielding error. The Rockets scored another unearned run in the third and tacked on two more insurance runs in the fourth. The Fighting Hawks had two runners on in the top of the seventh with two outs, but Hunt induced Cassie Casts to fly out to end the rally secure her third shutout of the season.

In the second game, tournament host UCF held a 6-0 lead through five winnings before junior Jenna Kroll hit a solo homer above the center field wall in the top of the sixth to trim the margin to 6-1. Kroll's homer was her third this season and 14th of her career, tying Bailey Curry (2018) for eighth on Toledo's career list. UCF added three more runs in the bottom of the sixth. Freshman Madison McKay took the loss in 2.0 innings on the mound, allowing  up three hits and one run.

Toledo (6-11) will play one final game in Florida tomorrow vs. Kennesaw State at 11:00 a.m.
