Softball Collects Split in Toledo
4/15/2025 7:28:00 PM | Softball
Central Michigan dropped the first game of the double header against Toledo but rallied to earn the split after the second game.
TOLEDO, Ohio – A windy and cold day, mixed with on and off rain, resulted in an opening game loss for softball, but Team 47 rallied to gather a dominant win in the second game.
CMU fell, 3-7 to Toledo opening Tuesday afternoon, but won the second game 10-3.
Central Michigan advances to 20-19 on the season, and 12-5 in MAC play, as Toledo falls to 13-24 and 6-10 in league play. Next up for CMU, a weekend slate of three games with Bowling Green. Game one is scheduled for Friday at 3 p.m. and a double header to close is set for 1 p.m. on Saturday.
Game 1
London Williams ignited the game with a solo home run in the top of the first inning.
Toledo answered with a run of their own via RBI single in the bottom half of the inning to tie it.
Mackenzie Langan took the start for Central Michigan and threw for 2.1 innings where she issued seven hits and allowed five runs.
Toledo scored two runs in the second, third and fourth innings to reach their final of seven runs.
The other two runs for CMU were scored in the top of the fifth inning with a double from senior Allyssa Hollo to score Carly Sleeman and London Williams.
Cierra Laska was first in relief for the pitching staff, throwing one complete inning with two runs scored off two hits. Madison Wendel entered in the fourth inning to face the final two outs, and collected one strikeout.
