TOLEDO, Ohio– In the fourth Mid-American Conference series of the 2019 Akron softball campaign, junior Adrian Smith (St. Clairsville, Ohio) tossed her third consecutive complete game but Toledo would walk away with a 3-0 win to take game one of a three-game series on Friday afternoon at the Scott Park Softball Complex.

Smith, who recorded her sixth complete game of the season, tossed 6.0 innings, allowed just 3 runs on 10 hits, struck out four, and walked two.

From the plate, the Zips lone hit in the contest came off the bat of junior Macky Mitchiner (Riverside, Calif.) with a double to left field in the third inning. UA did record four base runners in the contest but left them all on.

Smith worked out of a bases-loaded jam in two innings (second and fourth) against the Rockets. However, the UT offense won the battle in the second inning against Smith and scored two runs to claim a 2-0 lead courtesy of a sacrifice fly and an RBI single to left field.

The Rockets would add an additional insurance run in the bottom of the sixth inning before securing the 3-0 victory by setting Akron down, 1-2-3, in the seventh.

Akron and Toledo close out the Mid-American Conference series at the Scott Park Softball Complex tomorrow, Saturday, April 5. The Zips and Rockets are scheduled for a doubleheader starting at 1 p.m.
