Rockets Blast Three Home Runs in 12-1 Thumping of Youngstown State

Jose Cote, Tre Mariano, Caden Konczak all homer for Toledo

TOLEDO, Ohio – Three home runs highlighted a big-inning offensive attack in the Toledo baseball team's 12-1, seven-inning victory over Youngstown State at Scott Park on Wednesday.
 
Tied at 1-1 in the fifth, the Rockets (23-26) struck for seven runs in the fifth inning, adding on four more in the bottom of the seventh to complete the run-rule victory over the Penguins (12-35). The seven-run fifth inning was Toledo's biggest inning of the season. The Rockets have won three-straight games and five of their last six overall.
 
Toledo also eclipsed eight runs for the third-straight game, its first stretch of three-straight games of at least eight runs since reaching the mark four consecutive times from April 9-14, 2024.
 
Quoting Head Coach Rob Reinstetle
"It took us a little bit to get going today, but we locked in and a great fifth inning blew the game open. We've been playing really solid baseball and need to continue this week at Northern Illinois to bolster our tournament chances."
