Following a six-game losing streak, Toledo won its second game in a row when it topped Dayton 7-5 on April 10 at Scott Park.

With the victory, the Rockets improved to 14-18 on the season while Dayton dropped to 15-19.

Senior second baseman Joe Corfman went 4 for 5 against the Flyers while driving in three runs and crossing the plate once. With his four hits, Corfman raised his batting average 18 points to a team-high .333.

Junior third baseman Wes White (2 for 2, 2 R, RBI) and senior designated hitter Matt Delewski (2 for 4, RBI) each had a pair of hits for the Rockets.

Senior starter Jared Locke allowed seven hits and four runs in 5.1 innings of work, earning a no decision. Junior Tyler Scott (2-1, ERA) relieved Locke and picked up the win, throwing 1.2 scoreless innings, allowing one hit for his second win of the season. After junior Cody Umbright gave up a run in the eighth, senior Alex Radon shut the door in a perfect ninth for his first save of the season.

The Rockets will look for their third straight victory when they travel to Ann Arbor on April 11 to take on Michigan (15-18) at 6 p.m.
