‘Hawks Take Down Toledo in Extras

TOLEDO, Ohio— The RedHawks beat Toledo 4-3 in 10 innings Saturday, with Evan Appelwick driving in the go-ahead run to secure the victory. Miami moves to 17-19 (10-10 MAC) with the victory, while Toledo falls to 19-20 (12-8 MAC) with the loss.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Toledo scored first in the opening inning on a wild pitch after a walk and a single to take an early 1-0 lead.
  • The Rockets scored again in the second inning, this time on an RBI single. This gave Toledo a 2-0 lead with only two hits.
  • Miami brought their bats in the third. Tyler Gordon sparked the offensive outburst by reaching first on a throwing error and then stealing second. Dillon Baker followed this up by singling to advance Gordon to third.
  • Zach MacDonald then homered on a 1-1 count, his 14th of the season. The home run put three on the board for the RedHawks to give them a 3-2 lead and also put MacDonald in the top 35 in the nation for most home runs hit.
  • Toledo tied the ballgame in the bottom of the eighth with a home run by Luke Walton.
  • In the top of the tenth, MacDonald walked. Ty Batusich singled down the right field line to send MacDonald to third base. Appelwick then came up with an infield single to pull Miami ahead by one entering to the bottom of the tenth.
  • Peyton Olejnik threw three straight strikeouts to hold off Toledo and secure Miami's victory.
