Toledo baseball holds off BGSU 5-2 at Fifth Third Field

The Battle of I-75 shifted to Fifth Third Field on Friday night as rivals Bowling Green State University and the University of Toledo put on a show on the downtown diamond.

Toledo, which was the home team at the Mud Hens' ballpark, fell behind 1-0 before securing a 5-2 win in a Mid-American Conference game that had a little bit of everything. A crowd of 2,530 was the largest to ever attend a college baseball game at the Triple-A stadium.

The Rockets turned a rare triple play, smacked a home run, and got a solid starting pitching performance from Napoleon graduate Layne Schnitz-Paxton.
