Toledo Splits Doubleheader vs. Western Illinois and Murray State

Riley Mohr's two-out RBI single in the sixth inning propels Rockets past WIU in the opener, 3-2

MURRAY, Ky. – Toledo split a pair of one-run games at the Velvet Milkman Classic in Murray, Ky. on Saturday, beating Western Illinois 3-2 in the opener before falling to host Murray State 2-1 in the nightcap. 

The Rockets (5-2) opened the afternoon with a come-from-behind 3-2 victory over the Leathernecks. Trailing 2-0, Toledo fought back with runs in the second and third innings and then won it on a two-out RBI single by Riley Mohr in the sixth inning. Sophia Knight, who pitched five scoreless innings in relief, put WIU down in order in the seventh to pick up the win.

In the second game, Knight was four outs away from her first shutout of the season before allowing a two-run homer in the bottom of the sixth that gave Murray State a 2-1 lead. Toledo got a lead-off single from Kendra VanderLugt in the seventh but the game ended on a double play.

For the day, Knight gave up just two earned runs and four hits while striking out nine batters in 11.0 innings. Junior Eli Enriquez went 5-for-6 on the day while junior Maris Barbato contributed three hits. 

Toledo will close out the Velvet Milkman Classic tomorrow with IUPUI at 10:00 a.m. (CT).
