Akron, Ohio - The No. 7 seed Toledo Softball team continued its run of upsets with three wins today to claim the first Mid-American Conference Tournament title in program history and earn an automatic qualifier spot in the NCAA Regionals. The Rockets took down No. 1 seed Miami and swept No. 3 seed Ohio in a doubleheader today en route to claiming the title. Toledo most recently won the MAC regular-season title in 1992, but this was the first MAC Tournament crown for the program.
Toledo claimed the title in dramatic fashion, rallying from a five-run deficit to defeat Ohio, 6-5, in today's second game to set up a winner-take-all battle with the Bobcats.
