Greyhounds sweep Miners in conference opener

Senior Cori Eckerle
Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

ROLLA, Mo. – The UIndy softball team extended its winning streak to four with wins of 1-0 and 8-2 at Missouri S&T Saturday.  The Greyhounds (9-5, 2-0 GLVC) got an amazing 17-strikeout performance from sophomore Morgan Foley in game one before blasting three homers in the capper.
 
GAME 1
Foley (5-3) fanned the first eight batters of the game on the way to a season-high 17 strikeouts.  Mrogan, who K'd 18 batters in a game last season, also surrendered just one hit – a third-inning single – for the second time in as many starts.    The Louisville, Ky., native has not allowed a run in 19 consecutive innings pitched.
                       
The Greyhounds plated their one and only run in the second inning.  Sophomore Jenny Thompson started the frame with a single and later can around on a two-out triple by senior Cori Eckerle.
 
GAME 2
The Hounds needed just one hit to score the game's first four runs, as three first-inning errors by the Miners (3-8, 2-4) put the home team in an early 4-0 hole.
 
The UIndy bats came alive after that, as junior Casey Williamson, junior Taylor Russell and junior Samantha Krcelich all went yard.  Williamson's was a two-run shot, while the other two were of the solo variety.
 
Senior pitcher Morgan Lewis upped her record to 4-2 with the complete-game win.  She struck out four batters in seven innings while only one of her two runs allowed was earned.
 
The Greyhounds continue conference play with a doubleheader at Drury.  The twin bill has been moved to Monday, however, to avoid poor forecasted weather conditions on Sunday.  First pitch is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET.
