Toledo vs. Oakland
Box Score
Box Score
Rochester, Mich. - The Toledo softball team (15-20, 4-4 MAC) swept Oakland (10-22, 3-8 Horizon) in a nonconference doubleheader today, outhiting the competition 22-8 to claim 10-2 and 2-0 victories. The wins helped UT establish a four-game winning streak and were largely the result of a strong offensive outing from sophomore Morgan Paaverud, who knocked in a three-run homer while going 6-for-7 with five RBIs and two runs.
 
The Rockets also extended their streak of scoring first to six games today thanks to senior Kaitlyn Bergman who was responsible for the first run of both games today. Her efforts extended her personal on-base streak to 17-straight games, the most in at least a decade for any UT player.(reached-base streak records prior to 2008 are not readily available).

Box Score
MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Michigan State played long ball and Central Michigan failed to capitalize on its scoring opportunities on Tuesday as the Spartans handed the Chippewas a 16-4 nonconference softball loss at Margo Jonker Stadium.
 
The Chippewas (16-19-1) are scheduled to return to Mid-American Conference play on Wednesday (2 p.m.) when they go to Western Michigan. CMU is 7-3-1 in league play and is in second place. Western is 10-17, 3-4.
 
CMU swept a doubleheader from the Broncos a week ago in Mount Pleasant.
 
"This game is done," CMU coach Margo Jonker said. "Tomorrow morning we move on and go get Western. Let's do the best we can to beat the Broncos."
