Hammond, La.— The Toledo baseball team nearly slugged its way to a victory on Tuesday night, but fell at Southeastern Louisiana, 7-6.
The Rockets grabbed an early lead, but the Lions came back and edged out in front with three runs in the third inning. Trailing 6-3 in the top of the eighth, senior Matt Hansen lifted a ball high and deep to right field for his third home run of the season, tying the game at 6-6 with a three-run bomb. Unfortunately, Southeastern answered right back in the bottom half of the inning with an RBI single to take a 7-6 lead that would hold as the final score.
