AKRON, Ohio – Three rain delays and nine hours later, the Miami University softball team downed the University of Toledo 5-4 in game four of the Mid-American Conference Championship Tournament in walk-off fashion with a sac fly from Sami Bewick. The RedHawks move to 46-7 on the season and Toledo drops to 26-22.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED:

• An error in the top of the second scored Toledo's first run. In the next at-bat, a sac fly scored another, giving them a 2-0 lead.
• The second and third innings were quiet for both teams.
• After a nearly four and a half hour rain delay, the game resumed in the top of the fourth.
• On an error in the top of the fourth with the rain still falling hard, another pair of runs crossed the plate for the Rockets, doubling their lead 4-0.
• Two back-to-back errors helped along by wet conditions led into another rain delay, still in the top of the fourth. This one lasted only 15 minutes.
• A foul sac fly from Hadley Parisien in the bottom of the fourth scored Bewick and cut the deficit to 4-1.
• At the end of the fourth, the game went to its third rain delay. Play resumed over an hour later at 8 p.m. to start the fifth inning.
• In the bottom of the fifth, Bewick blasted a homer over left field, also scoring Holly Blaska to shorten the gap to 4-3.
• With one swing of the bat, Karli Spaid tied the game 4-4 in the bottom of the seventh with a lined solo homer over right field.
• Later that inning, Bewick hit a far sac fly to score the tagging Jenna Golembiewski from third to walk it off for the RedHawks 5-4.

• Spaid went 3-for-4 at the plate. 
• Parks went 2-for-3 offensively.
• Bewick knocked in three RBI including a two-run homer and the game winning sac fly.
• Madilyn Reeves pitched the complete game and got the win. She did not allow a single earned run across and struck out four.
