LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The Bowling Green State University baseball team closed out the weekend series against No. 5 Louisville on Sunday (Feb. 26). The two teams entered the game with the series knotted up after a 9-6 BGSU win on Saturday. A six-run sixth inning highlighted a 14-1 Louisville win in the series rubber match, moving Bowling Green to 2-4 through the first two series of the season.
For the Falcons, Bowling Green's lone run of the game came in the third inning. Anthony Toma and Ryan Johnston both singled to put two runners on for Nathan Archer who delivered an RBI single to put the Orange and Brown on the board.

QUOTE FROM COACH HALLOCK
"Early on in the game we weren't as sharp as we needed to be against a team like Louisville. They took advantage of some mistakes and made us pay. We will learn from it, make some adjustments to practice and be better this next weekend at Evansville."
UP NEXT
The Falcons will have one more non-conference series before jumping into conference play. Next weekend, Bowling Green will head to Evansville, Ind. for a four-game weekend series against the Evansville Aces. BGSU and Evansville will play one game Friday, a doubleheader Saturday and one on Sunday. Friday is scheduled for a 4 p.m. EST start.
