TOLEDO, Ohio – The Ohio baseball team (13-15, 11-4 MAC) claimed the lead in the third inning and didn't look back, sweeping the Toledo Rockets (14-16, 6-9 MAC) with a 5-2 victory Scott Park Baseball Complex this afternoon.

Individually, fifth year Will Sturek (Minnetonka, Minn.) went 2-for-3 with one RBI and one run scored while junior Alec Patino (Sioux City, Iowa) went 1-for-4 with two RBIs. Redshirt sophomore Nick Dolan (Pittsburgh, Pa.) recorded the only extra-base hit of the day for the Bobcats, finishing the day with a double and two runs scored. Junior Cole Williams (Charlotte, N.C.) went 2-for-4.

On the mound, junior Trent Spoon (Bourbonnais, Ill.) got the start, facing 23 batters in six complete innings. He gave up two hits while striking out three. Sophomores Hudson Boncal (Corona, Calif.) and Dylan Masters (New Albany, Ohio) as well as fifth year Braxton Kelly (Ulysses, Ky.) split the final three innings and successfully maintained Ohio's three-run lead. 

Toledo struck first, scoring the first run of the game off a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the first. The Bobcats answered quickly, tying the game on a wild pitch the next inning. Sturek put Ohio ahead in the third with an RBI single to left field, driving in Dolan to give the Bobcats a 2-1 lead. 

After a scoreless fourth, junior Alec Patino extended Ohio's lead with a two-run homer in the fifth, leaving the Rockets trailing by three runs. In the seventh, fifth year Mason Minzey (Grand Blanc, Mich.) flied out to right field, allowing redshirt sophomore AJ Rausch (Powell, Ohio) to tag up and score Ohio's fifth and final run of the game. 

The Rockets attempted to rally in the bottom of the inning, driving in one run with a pair of singles, but ultimately stranded three runners after Boncal drew a fly out to end the inning. 

Masters and Kelly shut out Toledo in the remaining two innings, facing a combined six batters to secure Ohio's 5-2 victory over the Rockets. 

Up next, the Bobcats return to Athens for a midweek matchup with the Marshall Herd on Tuesday, April 11. First pitch is set for 6 p.m. at Bob Wren Stadium.
