Rockets Drop Series Finale at Akron, 7-4

Toledo takes 2-of-3 from the weekend series
AKRON, Ohio – The Toledo baseball team lost to Akron in a 7-4 decision at Skeeles Field on Sunday afternoon but still won the weekend series.
Â
The Rockets (12-14, 8-4 MAC) got on the board first and came back to tie in the third with three runs, but the Zips (12-14, 5-7 MAC) scored the final three runs in the fifth and eighth innings, while holding Toledo off the scoreboard in the final six frames. Toledo had the go-ahead run at the plate in the seventh and the tying run in the eighth, but could not score. Despite the defeat, the Rockets took 2-of-3 from the weekend set and will be outright or tied for fourth place in the Mid-American Conference at day's end.
Â
At the plate, Troy Sudbrook (12), Jacob Payne (4) and Charlie Scholvin (4) each extended their hitting streaks. Scholvin scored a run in the first, the 100th of his career. Toledo stole five bases as a team, two of which came from Scholvin, the fifth time this season the Rockets totaled five or more thefts.
Â
Graduate student Deron Swanson (2-4) took the defeat. Redshirt freshman Nate Langbehn pitched the final 3.2 innings, allowing just one run with seven strikeouts, notching career highs in both innings and strikeouts.
Â
Quoting Head Coach Rob Reinstetle
"We won the weekend series, which is always the goal, but I feel like we let a golden opportunity slip through our fingers. For as good as we hit all weekend, we just couldn't get anything going after the third inning. It was a 4-4 game and anyone's for the taking, but we just had too many quiet innings at the plate. I tip my cap to their reliever. He came in and just shut us down. We're 8-4 and right in the hunt, but we have a really big home weekend vs. a hot Eastern Michigan team. We need to come ready to play."

Toledo's road swing concludes with a matchup at Ohio State on Tuesday, March 31. First pitch is at 6:00 p.m. on B1G+. The Rockets then return home for a MAC series against Eastern Michigan on Thursday-Saturday, April 2-4.
