In front of its largest home crowd this season, the Central Michigan softball delivered a three-game sweep over the visiting Toledo Rockets, to push themselves into a tie for fourth place in the Mid-American Conference West Division.

After a walk-off home run by senior Katelyn Rentschler on Friday, CMU took the doubleheader on Saturday in front of 420 fans and won behind timely hitting and consistent pitching from sophomore Hanna Warren and junior Rachael Knapp.
