Rockets Fall 2-1 in Series Opener with Bobcats

Two-run homer in the fourth gives Ohio the win

ATHENS, Ohio – Erin Hunt held Ohio scoreless in all but one inning but the two runs the Bobcats scored in the fourth inning were enough to give them a 2-1 victory over the Rockets at the Ohio Softball Field on Tuesday.

Hunt (11-13) went the distance, scattering seven hits and striking out seven in the defeat but was dinged by a two-run homer in the fourth that turned out to be the difference.

Senior Anna Dixon scored on a wild pitch to give Toledo a 1-0 lead in the top of the fourth but that was all the scoring the Rockets could manage against the Bobcats' Skipp Miller.

The Rockets (18-23, 11-12 MAC) and Bobcats (25-18, 15-6 MAC) will close out their series tomorrow afternoon with a doubleheader starting at 1:00 p.m.

Ohio 2, Toledo 1

  • Anna Dixon got the Rockets on the board first, scoring on a wild pitch in the top of the fourth.
  • Ohio's Shelby Westler answered with a two-run homer out to left field to give the Bobcats the 2-1 lead in the bottom half of the fourth.
  • The Bobcats loaded the bases with one out in the fifth, but Erin Hunt got out of the jam with back-to-back outs to keep it a one-run game.  
  • Kendra VanderLugt singled with one out in the fifth, but the next eight Toledo batters failed to reach base.
