RedHawks Drop Doubleheader At Toledo

TOLEDO, Ohio — The Miami baseball team dropped a pair of games by the slimmest of margins Friday afternoon in Toledo, falling 8-7 in 12 innings and then by a score of 3-2 in game two.
 
The Rockets improve to 11-10, 6-4 MAC, while the RedHawks' record now stands at 7-13, 4-6 MAC.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED (Game One)
  • The RedHawks got on the board with a run in the top of the first inning. After JJ Woolwine led things off with a single, a walk and a pair of fly balls brought him around to score. Stephen Krause picked up the RBI with a sacrifice fly to center.
  • Miami made it 2-0 in the third, as Brian Zapp's bases-loaded walk drove in Cole Andrews, who had started the inning with a single into left.
  • The Rockets rallied to take a 4-2 lead with a pair of runs in both the third and fourth innings.
  • William Escala's triple in the fifth inning set up an RBI single for Zapp to trim the margin to 4-3, but Toledo responded with a run in the bottom half of the inning to regain a two-run lead.
  • The RedHawks struck for three runs in the top of the sixth. Nick Neibauer singled, advanced to second on a passed ball, moved to third on an Andrews single, and came home courtesy of another Krause sac fly. Zach MacDonald followed with a two-run homer to center to give the visitors a 6-5 lead.
  • Toledo knotted things up on a solo home run in the bottom of the sixth to make it 6-6.
  • The score remained tied until the 12th inning. Miami took a 7-6 lead in the top half of the inning on MacDonald's RBI single, but the Rockets' Darryn Davis hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the 12th to end the game.
