Toledo Rallies to Defeat Montana 6-5 at GCU Purple Classic

Rockets fall to New Mexico in Game 2 to settle for a split

PHOENIX, Ariz. – The Toledo softball team split its second doubleheader of GCU's Purple Classic on Sunday, defeating Montana 6-5 in the opener before falling to New Mexico 5-1 in the afternoon contest.

In the victory over Montana, the Rockets fell behind 4-0 in the first inning but rallied for the win. RBI singles by junior Sidney Griffith and senior Riley Mohr in the fourth inning gave Toledo a 6-5 lead that held up as the final margin. Sophia Knight (5-2) went the distance for the win.

Toledo again found itself down 4-0 in its second game vs. New Mexico but this time could not muster enough offense for a comeback in the 5-1 loss. Junior Eli Enriquez put Toledo on the board with an RBI single in the third for the Rockets' only score. Junior Kylee Graham (1-2) pitched all six innings in defeat.

Enriquez went 4-for-5 at the plate in the two games on Saturday and added two more stolen bases. Senior Jenna Kroll added three hits while Griffith drove in a team-high three runs. 

Toledo (6-6) will wrap up the Purple Classic on Sunday with a rematch vs. Grand Canyon (9:30/ 11:30 a.m. EST) at the GCU Softball Stadium.
