Softball
Last Week: Miami (20-16 overall, 6-4 MAC) produced a mixed bag of results last week against Bowling Green and Toledo. On Tuesday, the RedHawks split a road doubleheader against the Falcons in a pair of low-scoring contests. In game one, the Red and White only tallied four hits, but a late rally propelled them to victory. In the sixth, senior second baseman Eryn McCarver put Miami on the board with a RBI single up the middle, followed by another run from a sac fly by senior outfielder Jenna Jones. After BGSU tied the game in the bottom of the sixth, junior designated player Megan Wurts scored from second on a throwing error to put Miami ahead for good. The Miami offense was once again held in check in the nightcap as Bowling Green used a pair of RBIs to grab a 2-0 win. (RECAP) Returning home for Friday's opener against Toledo, the Miami offense reignited in a 9-5 victory. After giving up two runs in the first inning, the RedHawks batted around in a five-run frame, but the Rockets would tie it up with a three-run top of the fifth. In the bottom half, a pair of doubles from junior third baseman Kat Lee and senior catcher Lauren Anderson put Miami ahead for good, leading to an eventual 9-5 win. (RECAP) In Saturday's doubleheader opener, the RedHawks broke through with a furious third inning that began with home runs from sophomore shortstop Michaela Schlattman and Lee. Three batters later, junior catch Rylee Whispel broke open the game with a bases-clearing double that made it 6-0. As freshman starter Jaime Scher held Toledo in check, the Miami offense continued to dominate in a 14-1 result. Following the first-game onslaught, Rockets starter Rachel Webb shut down the Miami bats, allowing only two hits in a complete game effort. By way of a three-run first inning, Toledo rode solid pitching and outstanding defense to a 4-0 win that salvaged a win in the series. (RECAP) This Week: The RedHawks close out their series against Bowling Green with a return home matchup on Wednesday at 3 p.m. Miami will follow that up with a three-game set at Kent State this weekend, with the opener beginning at 3 p.m. on Friday.

Last Week: The team picked up a pair of wins over the weekend after they took down the University of Toledo, 5-2, and then returned on Sunday to blank Bowling Green, 7-0. Miami (9-9, 4-1 MAC) dropped the doubles point, but came back strong in singles to take the match. Junior Hannah Shteyn rebounded in singles with a commanding 6-3, 6-1 victory at No. 5 to tie the match at 1, followed by sophomore Emily Struble's tight 7-6 (4), 6-3 fourth-flight win that put Miami ahead for good. Junior Anastasiia Vasiukhina used a comeback in a first-set tiebreaker to pull out a 7-6 (7), 6-2 win at No. 6. Following a tough second set, senior Andreea Badileanu closed strong to seal the RedHawks' victory with a 6-1, 6-7 (3), 6-2 result at No. 3. Miami's final point of the day came as sophomore Anzhelika Shapovalova stormed back in the third set for a 3-6, 6-3, 7-5 victory in second position. (RECAP) Miami had the upperhand against Bowling Green on Sunday as they were playing down a player, causing forfeit at No.3 in doubles and No. 6 in singles. In doubles, Struble and Badileanu once again secured the doubles point for the RedHawks after they topped Polina Radeva and Aymi Sasaki, 6-3 at No. 2. The RedHawks swept the singles competition with wins at first through fifth positions. Badileanu battled it out with Polina Radeva at No. 3. The senior-RedHawk fell in the first set, 4-6, but she came back to handily take the second set, 6-0. The match was decided in a third-set tiebreaker where Miami ultimately came out on top 10-8. Struble continued her winning streak at fourth position after defeating Ayumi Sasaki, (6-4, 6-0). (RECAP) This Week: The Red & White will return home to prepare to face Ball State on Friday, April 14 in Oxford, Ohio. The first serve is tabbed for 1 p.m.
Baseball
Last Week: The RedHawks kicked off last week's action by dropping a pair of midweek contests against Cincinnati and Xavier. Tuesday against the Bearcats, Miami jumped out to an early lead courtesy of a first inning grand slam but UC scored the next eight runs and held on late to top the Red & White, 8-6 (RECAP). At XU on Wednesday, the 'Hawks fell into an early hole that they could not overcome as the Musketeers powered their way past Miami, 9-4 (RECAP). The team hosted Eastern Michigan for the weekend and the series opener saw them fall in a heartbreaker. The Red & White took a one-run lead into the ninth but EMU tied it up before going on to win on a two-run homer in the top of the tenth (RECAP). Miami rebounded for a 6-2 win on Saturday behind two-RBI performances from Brooks Urich and Cal Elvers (RECAP). Sunday's series finale was a back-and-forth battle that ultimately ended in favor of the Eagles. Miami took a 5-4 lead into the sixth after putting up four in the fifth but EMU fought back with a four-spot of its own and went on to defeat the 'Hawks, 10-6 (RECAP). This Week: Miami gets back at it with a home-and-home against Dayton on Tuesday and Wednesday.
