McNulty's walk-off ends game
Baseball
Once game one of the Bowling Green series resumed on Saturday, two Zips reached base before Doug McNulty ended the game with a walk-off home run.
The dinger gave the sophomore first baseman the cycle for the game. He went 5-5.
Akron lost game two, 9-1, after pitchers Pat Watt and Tom Farmer gave up seven runs in the eighth inning.
The Zips fell to 8-26 and 3-11 in the MAC. They will play Bowling Green again tomorrow at 1 p.m. at Lee Jackson Field.
A poster on ZipsNation.org says the injured players from Friday, Ryne Romick and Brett Savage, were at the game.
Softball
Megan MacKenzie dominated on offense and defense today, helping the Zips win 2-1 at Ohio.
MacKenzie went 3-3 at the plate with three RBIs. She also pitched the whole game, giving up one earned run on four hits.
The Zips (20-18, 9-4) and Bobcats (23-29, 6-7) will wrap up the series tomorrow at 1 p.m. in Athens.
