Toledo erased two with a double play, but Hernandez survived and scored on Evey Dieudonne's single to right center. Olive folowed with home run that gave Miami a quick 4-0 lead. 
•  Neither team scored again until the fifth. Campbell followed Hernandez' one-out single with a home run.

•  After two quick outs, MU rallied for five runs on four hits, a hit batter and Toledo error. Olive got it started with a single and came on on Erin Pinter's double to right center.
Carter was hit by a pitch and pinch hitter Madie Patton reached firston an error. Pinter scored on the play. Manos followed with a two-run double . Estrello added one more run -- the 11th -- on a single to right. 
Toledo managed two hits in its final at-bat, but a double-play and ground out ended the contest.
