Erin Hunt Records Fifth Shutout as Rockets Split Doubleheader vs. Cardinals

Rockets take two of three games in series at Ball State

MUNCIE, Ind. – Erin Hunt tossed a four-hit shutout for Toledo in a 5-0 victory at Ball State in the first of two games on Saturday. The Rockets fell 6-1 in the nightcap but took two of the three games to win the series vs. the Cardinals.

"It's tough to beat a team three times, especially a strong team," head coach Jessica Bracamonte said. "Overall, I thought we competed well and am proud of how we approached the series. We need to use the positives to build and take what we could do better and make adjustments. Another tough series coming up but as long as we play Toledo softball, I feel good about where we're at."

Hunt struck out nine batters in the opener to record her fifth shutout of the season and 15th of her career. Toeldo broke a scoreless tie in the fifth inning on back-to-back RBI doubles from Sidney Griffith and Anna Dixon, and a two-run single from Riley Mohr to take a 4-0 lead. Jenna Kroll homered in the seventh inning, her sixth of the season and 17th of her career, moving her in the No. 8 spot on Toledo's career record book.

BSU took the lead in Game 2 with two runs in the third inning and four more in the fifth built up to a 6-0 lead. Toledo avoided the shutout with one run in the seventh.
