FORT WAYNE, Ind. – The Toledo baseball team sustained a strong offensive attack throughout a 12-5 victory against Purdue Fort Wayne at Mastodon Field on Tuesday.

The Rockets (9-14) took a 7-1 lead with a six-run third inning and added on in the fifth, eighth and ninth innings for a season-high 12 runs scored.. The Mastodons (3-20) did not draw closer than five after the third. Toledo won its third-straight game to tie its longest winning streak of the season. The Rockets' bats were consistent top to bottom, with all nine batters collecting at least one hit.

Quoting Head Coach Rob Reinstetle
"It was nice to see the bats come alive today. We have been slowly getting better on offense each week and I hope we can build off today heading into a big MAC weekend against Kent State."
