INDIANAPOLIS- The University of Indianapolis baseball team made it a clean sweep of Kentucky Wesleyan with wins of 5-0 and 9-1 at Greyhound Park Saturday.  Dating back to Friday's second game, UIndy held KWC scoreless for 22 consecutive innings before the Panthers managed their only run of the day in the ninth inning of the four-game series capper.

GAME 1
Game three of the series marked the second straight shutout thrown by a Greyhound pitcher.  After Donovan Drake tossed seven scoreless  yesterday, Cory White matched the feat with a nine-K performance in the seven-inning first game.  A one-out double in the third inning proved to be the only hit allowed by the Tennessee native.

The back-to-back blankings marked the first consecutive shutouts for UIndy since the Hounds turned the trick back in May of 2006, also against KWC.

White's counterpart, junior Mitch Kellum, held UIndy (14-7, 3-1 GLVC) scoreless through three innings, but the Hounds finally got to the soft-tossing lefty in the fourth.  Back-to-back singles from Chase Kittinger and Travis Capps made it first and third with one out.  Although they proved to be the only hits in the frame, UIndy still managed to plate a pair of runs with help from a walk, a wild pitch and an error.

Not that White needed the insurance, but the Hounds picked up three more tallies in the sixth.  Capps, who went 3-for-3 for the game, started the rally with a base knock and a stolen base.  Chris Ulrey drove Capps in with a single through the right side, followed by an RBI double from Colby Shaw, and a run-scoring single from Kaleb Cunningham.


GAME 2
In his first career start in a GLVC game, senior Vince Saisi made a strong bid for his first shutout as a Greyhound in the nine-inning second game.  The righthander kept the Panthers (11-12, 3-3) off the board for eight and two-thirds innings, but a pinch-hit single by sophomore Tyler Edge plated Wesleyan's only run before Saisi got the final hitter to ground out to third to earn the complete game.

Offensively, the Greyhounds did the majority of their damage in the four-run second.  A lead-off double from Aryn Ross and an RBI single from Capps highlighted the frame.

After making a spectacular diving catch in foul territory in the sixth, Ross later blasted his third homerun of the year before finishing 2-for-3 with two runs and an RBI.


Saturday's games were the last of a six-game homestand for the Hounds.  The team returns soon, however, playing a doubleheader at Maryville Tuesday, Mar. 23 before coming right back to Greyhound Park to begin another six-game stint, starting with a non-conference tilt versus Cedarville Wednesday, Mar. 24.


Note:  The Greyhounds have won s12 of their last 13 games, including each of the last seven.
