TOLEDO, Ohio – The Toledo baseball team scored seven runs in the first three innings and dominated on the mound in an 11-1, seven-inning victory over Eastern Michigan to complete the weekend sweep at Scott Park on Sunday.
 
The Rockets (23-25, 16-11 MAC) swept a conference opponent for the second time this season and clinched a winning record in conference play, as the Eagles (13-32, 8-16 MAC) suffered their 13th consecutive defeat. The Rockets previously swept Akron to open conference play on March 8-9.
 
Freshman Charlie Scholvin had a career day at the plate, hitting his first career home run and triple, and putting up his top collegiate marks with four RBIs and three runs scored. Junior Caden Konczak went 4-for-5 with four RBIs, two runs scored, and a home run. Junior Brayden White went 2-for-4 and scored two runs on the while freshman JP Wagner also scored two runs and finished 1-for-3 with a walk.
 
All told, eight batters recorded a hit on the afternoon, as Toledo out-hit EMU, 13-4. Konczak marked his second game of the season with at least four hits and his 11th multi-hit game.
 
Sophomore Jackson Bergman (2-5) pitched his longest outing of the season, allowing just one earned run on four hits and striking out six to just one walk. Senior Camryn Szynski retired all six batters he faced in 2.0 innings and struck out one. The four hits allowed as a pitching staff were the third-fewest given up by Toledo this year.
 
"That was an awesome way to finish the weekend, and I'm incredibly proud of how the team competed and got back to our winning formula," head coach Rob Reinstetle said. "Jackson Bergman gave us a great start on the mound and Cam Szynski was very good in relief. We are accustomed to great hitting and the bats delivered all day, Charlie Scholvin and Caden Konczak both had excellent days at the plate. We're in a great position in the MAC standings and set to finish the regular season strong.
 
The Rockets are on the road next week, with a mid-week matchup on Tuesday, May 7 at Oakland at 2:30 p.m., followed by a weekend series at Notre Dame May 10-12.
