Veerkamp gets no decision

Toledo grabbed a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning on James Miglin's RBI single. The Rockets actually had three singles in the frame, but Veerkamp settled into a grove.
The right-handed hurler retired 10 of the next 11 Toledo batters with the only Rocket reaching on a second-inning walk.

Notre Dame drew even, 1-1, in the bottom of the second. The Irish loaded the bases with one out on a junior C Joe Hudson single and two walks. Markson came to the plate and lifted a sacrifice fly to right field to plate Hudson.

Markson gave Notre Dame a 2-1 lead a couple of innings later. Freshman LF Ryan Bull  reached and advanced to second on an error from Toledo 1B Mark Lapikas. Senior RF Alex Robinson  followed with a ground out to move Bull to third and Markson slapped a two-out RBI single right back up the middle.

Veerkamp ran into trouble in the top of the fifth inning. Dan Zuchowski singled with one out - Veerkamp had retired 11 of the previous 12 Rockets. The Junior RHP Patrick Veerkamp (Fort Wayne, Ind./Homestead H.S.) did not factor in the decision. He allowed three runs, all earned, on four hits in 4.2 innings of work. He struck out two and walked two. For the year Veerkamp is 2-0.
