AKRON - Bowling Green's softball team had only two hits Wednesday night in an 8-0 loss to Central Michigan in the Mid-American Conference tournament at Firestone Stadium.
Central scored four runs in the first, once in the second and three times in the fourth to end the game after 4 1/2 innings via the eight-run mercy rule.
The Falcons, seeded seventh, will try to stay alive in the double-elimination tournament this afternoon when they face arch-rival Toledo at 1:30.
BG is 27-23 overall, while eighth-seeded Toledo is 16-35. Central, the No. 3 seed, improved to 30-18.

Bowling Green's softball team is striving to capitalize on a fresh start this week.
The Falcons - who had a disappointing Mid-American Conference season - can redeem themselves in the conference tournament at Akron's Firestone Stadium.
BG faces Ohio to begin the double-elimination tournament this morning at 11.
The Falcons are the seventh-seed in the tournament after being picked as the favorite to win the MAC East Division.
But BG was only 9-13 in the MAC to tie Ohio for third place in the East. Ohio won the tiebreaker and is the No. 6 seed.
The Falcons are 26-22 overall, while Ohio is 26-27.
"We've learned from every game and now it's focusing on the next chapter in our book," BG sophomore pitcher Paris Imholz said.
The Falcons returned seven position players and two pitchers from last season when they were 36-22 overall and second in the East at 15-7.

Bowling Green's hockey team believes it has improved its offense and depth on defense next season with the addition of two recruits.
Left wing Kevin Dufour of the Central Ontario (Junior) Hockey League and defenseman Sean Walker of Newmarket in the Ontario Junior Hockey League have signed national letters of intent to play for the Falcons in the fall.
The addition of Walker and Dufour gives BG at least five freshmen next season.
They'll join goalie Tomas Sholl, defenseman Mark Friedman and right wing Matt Pohlkamp, who previously signed their letters of intent.
Dufour, who is 5-foot-11, 186 pounds, had 26 goals and 32 goals in 57 regular-season games this season.
"We think his best hockey is absolutely ahead of him because of how willing he is and how badly he wants to be a hockey player," BG coach Chris Bergeron said. "He wants to be the best player on the team. He wants to play hockey beyond college. His willingness to work really caught our attention. The sky is the limit with him."

CLEVELAND - Four Bowling Green softball players earned All-Mid-American Conference honors, including sophomore pitcher Jamie Kertes, who was named to the first-team for the second straight year.
Named to the second team were sophomore pitcher Paris Imholz, senior first baseman Paige Berger and senior shortstop Hannah Fulk.
Imholz's selection comes a year after making the all-freshman team, while Berger and Fulk were selected to the second-team for the second time.
Akron's Erin Seiler, a BG resident, earned a spot on the all-freshmen team.
Kertes, the MAC freshman of the year last season, leads the MAC with a 1.49 earned run average, allowing 18 earned runs in 84 innings. In nine of her conference starts, Kertes recorded six complete games with two shutouts. In 20 appearances, Kertes has held opponents to two runs or less 14 times, and has picked up a conference-best two saves.
She leads the MAC in strikeouts with 60 and opponents are hitting .233 against her.
