RENSSELAER, Ind.- On what felt like the only dry day this week, the UIndy baseball team (23-13, 12-12 GLVC) managed to get a pair of games in at Saint Joseph's College Thursday.  The Greyhounds downed the Pumas  5-1 in the opener before falling 8-0 in game two.

GAME ONE | Box score
Starter Cory Rupert (5-4) returned to form Thursday, allowing a mere three hits and one run in seven solid innings.  Rupert came in having surrendered 10 earned runs in his previous 8 1/3 innings, but the senior came out throwing BBs, striking out nine and walking just one on the way to the complete-game win.

Rupert faced just two over the minimum through six scoreless innings before the Pumas' lone run scored on a UIndy error in the seventh.  Five of his nine Ks came during the first 2 1/3 innings.

Junior Matt Maringer also made a return of sorts, though his was more literal than figurative.  After missing over two weeks and 12 games due to injury, Maringer – who was penciled in as the Greyhound leadoff hitter – delivered three hits, two runs and an RBI.

Scott Mourey, Chris Saroff and Scott Lawley each had RBI singles as well.

GAME TWO | Box score
SJC's game-two starter Chris Chojnowski turned the tables a bit in the capper, as the 6-5 junior held the Greyhounds off the board for seven frames.

The Hounds managed four hits in nine innings, as Maringer was the only Greyhound to reach base safely twice – getting hit by a pitch in the first and drawing a walk in the eighth.

Starter Patrick Kraft gave up seven runs (five earned) in five innings to take the loss.

UIndy returns home to a rainy Indianapolis forecast in hopes of hosting a four-game series versus Northern Kentucky Friday and Saturday.  Tomorrow's doubleheader is scheduled to start at 1 PM.  If the weather does not cooperate, however, any changes will be announced first here at athletics.uindy.edu.
