AKRON – The Toledo baseball team posted a 6-5 victory over Akron on Saturday afternoon to open its Mid-American Conference season with a series sweep of the Zips (3-11, 0-3 MAC). The Rockets (7-8, 3-0 MAC) never trailed throughout their opening weekend of league play at Skeeles Field to win their first three conference games on the road for a second-consecutive season.
"It was a great team win to finish off this series!" Head Coach said. "I don't think people understand how difficult it is to sweep a weekend series, especially on the road. Akron is a good team and has beaten a nationally-ranked Duke team and Illinois.
