EVANSVILLE, Ind.-  The UIndy baseball squad opened Great Lakes Valley Conference play with a 12-10 win at Southern Indiana Friday night.  The win upped the Greyhounds' record over .500, setting it at 7-6.

The Greyhounds tallied six runs in the second inning, all with two outs.  UIndy started the frame with back-to-back strikeouts, but followed that with four hits, a hit by pitch and a walk to hang a half dozen on the board.  Junior Colby Shaw picked up an RBI single while freshman Zach Kreegar had a two-run double.

The Screaming Eagles came right back with a four-run answer in the bottom of the second, however.  USI kept the pressure on with two runs in the fourth and three in the fifth to take a 9-6 lead.

UIndy responded with a three-run, yet hitless sixth inning to tie it, followed by a two-run output in the seventh to take the lead for good.

With two on and no one out in he bottom of the ninth, senior David Early protected a two-run lead by striking out the side to earn the tough save.  Travis Capps finished with three hits and three runs while Keegar had a pair of doubles and three driven in.

UIndy plays another single game with USI tomorrow starting at 2 p.m.
