Rockets Wrap Weekend with 5-2 Loss vs. Bobcats

Toledo will play nine of its next 10 games on the road

TOLEDO, Ohio – The Toledo baseball team concluded its weekend series vs. Ohio with a 5-2 loss to the Bobcats on Sunday afternoon at Scott Park.

The Rockets (14-16, 6-9 MAC) scored the first run of the game on Sunday, but couldn't string together another productive offensive inning until the seventh. By then the Bobcats (13-15, 11-4 MAC) had scored five runs and had taken a lead they would not relinquish.

Freshmen Troy Sudbrook and Wesley Parker both went 2-for-4 on the afternoon, accounting for four of Toledo's seven hits. Junior Jeron Williams reached base twice and stole two bases to bring his MAC-leading total to 24 thefts on the season.

Junior Matt LeLito made the start on the mound and struck out four in five innings of work. Junior Kyle Pijaszek, junior Kyle Music, freshman Nathan Leininger, and junior Camryn Szynski each threw one inning out of the bullpen.

Toledo will play nine of its next 10 games on the road. The Rockets will visit Youngstown State in non-conference action on Tuesday before returning home to host Wright State on Wednesday, their last home game until April 26.

How it Happened
  • Jeron Williams got the Rockets on the board in the bottom of the first, drawing a walk and stealing second and third before scoring easily on Mason Sykes' sac fly.
  • Ohio tied the game at 1-1 in the top of the second after scoring a run on a wild pitch.
  • Will Sturek put Ohio ahead 2-1 with an RBI single in the top of the third.
  • The Bobcats extended their lead to 4-1 in the top of the fifth on a two-run homer off the bat of Alec Patino.
  • Ohio pushed across another run in the top of the seventh to increase its lead to 5-1.
  • Scott Mackiewicz got Toledo back on the scoreboard with an RBI single in the bottom of the seventh to put the score at 5-2. UT almost chipped away further at the lead, but left the bases loaded at the end of the inning.
  • In the bottom of the ninth, Daunte DeCello walked and Marcus Strother laced a pinch-hit single into right field to bring the tying run to the plate with one out. However, Ohio's Braxton Kelly induced a game-ending double play to squash UT's rally.
