Rockets Fall 10-6 in Series Opener with Zips

Toledo and Akron will play a doubleheader Sunday to close out the series

TOLEDO, Ohio – Toledo battled through seven innings of sleet, rain, and wind with Akron on Saturday afternoon but came out on the losing side of a 10-6 final at Scott Park.

The game was tied at 2-2 when the visitors exploded for seven runs in the third inning, keyed by a grand slam by Abigail Scheller. The Rockets rallied with two runs in the third and fifth innings, but could not overcome the deficit. Toledo put two runners on in the seventh inning but a double play ended the game.

Jenna Kroll went 3-for-4, scored one run and had one RBI double in the fifth inning.  Riley Mohr went 2-for-4 including a two-rung homer in the third, and Aubrey Reed reached base three times. Erin Hunt (8-9) took the defeat, throwing seven strikeouts in 7.0 innings of action.

Prior to the game, Head Coach Jessica Bracamonte was presented with a ceremonial first-win game ball from Toledo's victory vs. Bellarmine on Feb. 10 by Vice President and Director of Athletics Bryan B. Blair. 

Toledo (11-16, 4-5 MAC) and Akron (15-14, 3-6 MAC) will play a doubleheader starting at noon tomorrow.
