TOLEDO, Ohio – The Toledo baseball team opened its weekend with a 5-1 victory over Eastern Michigan on Friday at Scott Park.
Junior Kyle Jones was predictably excellent, striking out eight in seven innings of work while allowing just the one run. Eastern Michigan scored first, plating its lone run in the top of the fifth, but the Rockets wasted no time in responding with two runs in the bottom half of the inning. Toledo would add insurance runs in the sixth and seventh and junior Cal McAninch tossed two scoreless frames to end the game earn his fourth save.
