The Chippewas defeated the Toledo Rockets in walk-off fashion Friday on a pair of home runs from senior first baseman Katelyn Rentschler.

With the score tied 1-1 in the bottom of the seventh, Rentschler led off the inning with a home run to give the Chippewas the lead and secure their third MAC victory of the year.

It was her second home run of the game and eighth of the season, the highest on the team.
