Hounds earn split in day one of season-opening invite

Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – In the earliest start date in the history of the program, the No. 7 UIndy softball team split a pair of games at the UAH Charger Chillout Friday.  The Greyhounds (1-1) dropped a 3-0 decision to in-region Wayne State in the afternoon, then downed North Alabama, 2-0, under the lights.

vs. WAYNE STATE
In a rematch of last year's NCAA Regional opening-round game, the Warriors (0-1) held the Hounds hitless through three innings until Taylor Russell led off the fourth with a single.  Erika Goodwin followed by reaching on an error during her sac bunt attempt, but the next three Hounds went down in order to strand both runners.

UIndy managed two consecutive singles in the fifth and three straight in the six but still couldn't push a run across.

Sophomore pitcher Morgan Foley (0-1) took the complete-game loss after allowing seven hits – all singles – and three walks.  She struck out seven in six innings of work.

The game time temperature was listed at 35 degrees.

vs. NORTH ALABAMA
Morgan Lewis tossed a shutout In her first game in the Crimson and Grey.  The Tennessee-Martin transfer fanned 10 Lion batters in a three-hit shutout.

Offensively, UIndy got on the board in the top of the first with an RBI triple from Alexa Alfaro.

In the fifth, the Hounds coaxed two walks and two hit batsman for the game's only other run.  Alfaro collected her second RBI of the game when her HBP plated Jessica Veck.

Play continues at the Chillout tomorrow.  Two big games await the Hounds as they start with a contest versus No. 9 Alabama-Huntsville at 3 p.m. ET, followed by another region game versus Northwood at 5 p.m.
