TOLEDO, Ohio – The Toledo baseball pitching staff combined for a two-hit shutout as the Rockets claimed the weekend series with Ohio with a 1-0 victory at Scott Park on Sunday.
 
The trio of Jackson Bergman, Nathan Leininger and Logan Jones combined for the shutout on the mound. Troy Sudbrook's RBI single in the seventh inning was good enough to lift the Rockets (8-14, 4-5 MAC) in the rubber match against the Bobcats (6-16, 2-7 MAC). Toledo won its first series of the MAC schedule.
 
The shutout was Toledo's first as a team since an 8-0 victory over Middle Tennessee on March 4, 2023.
 
Quoting Head Coach Rob Reinstetle
"After a rough start on Friday, I'm super proud of the way we battled back and took the series. Today, we got masterful pitching by Bergman, Leininger and Jones. We played good defense as well and Sudbrook came through with the big hit."
