ATHENS, Ohio – Though Toledo scored first and lead early in both contests, the Rockets suffered back-to-back one-run defeats to Ohio on Saturday at Ohio Softball Field.
UT led 7-0 at the end of the fourth inning in Game 1, but the Bobcats evened the score and forced the game into an eighth frame. OU won the contest, 8-7, off an RBI single. Toledo then jumped into a 2-0 lead in the nightcap but eventually fell to Ohio, 3-2.
UT has now dropped six one-run contests so far in 2017.
Against the Bobcats, freshman Samantha Golden (3-for-5) and senior Chandler Rice (3-for-8) led the Toledo offensive charge in the doubleheader.
