Rockets Shut Out Bobcats 7-0 in Doubleheader Opener

Toledo splits with Ohio after falling 3-0 in Game Two

TOLEDO, Ohio – The Toledo softball team split its doubleheader with Ohio on Tuesday afternoon, taking the opener 7-0 before falling 3-0 in the nightcap.

Freshman Mady Yackee (2-2) got the call for both games and was brilliant in 13.1 innings pitched, allowing just three runs (two earned), striking out three batters and giving up nine hits. Yackee gave up four hits in the opening shutout, the first solo blanking of her career. She was two outs from her second shutout of the afternoon before Ohio (21-20, 8-7 MAC) rallied for three runs in the seventh inning off of her and reliever junior Sophia Knight.

Toledo (20-17, 11-6 MAC) set the tone right off the bat in the opener, scoring single runs in the first two innings to build a 2-0 lead before Ohio got its first hit off Yackee in the fourth. Toledo exploded with four runs in the fourth and added another insurance run in the fifth to make it 7-0, which held up as the final score.

Game Two was deadlocked at 0-0 until the top of the seventh when Ohio broke through with three runs and held off Toledo for the final three outs to earn the shutout and settle for the split.

Juniors Kendra VanderLugt, Sidney Griffith, and Eli Enriquez each had three this this afternoon, including a double from Griffith. Junior Maris Barbato drove in a team-high three RBIs.

Toledo will play its final non-conference game of the year at Detroit Mercy (3-29, 2-10 HL) this Thursday at 3:00 p.m.
