INDIANAPOLIS – In a battle of top-25 clubs, the 24th-ranked UIndy softball team (32-8, 21-3 GLVC) split a doubleheader with No. 16 Truman State Friday at Baumgartner Field.  Each team earned a close victory on the nearly-perfect spring afternoon, with the Greyhounds taking game one, 2-0, before the Bulldogs answered with a 2-1 win.  The latter snapped the Hounds' 19-game winning streak.
 
Junior Casey Williamson notched career hit No. 200 with a third-inning single in the opener, becoming only the fourth player in program history to reach the milestone.
 
GAME 1
Truman (33-8, 23-5) came into play hitting a GLVC-high .345 as a team, but game-one starter Morgan Foley held the visitors to a mere 4-for-26 (.154) performance at the plate.  The Greyhounds' ace struck out 12 in the complete-game shutout, but not without pitching out of a couple jams.
 
In the fourth inning, the Bulldogs put runners on second and third with one out, but Foley (24-4) fanned the next batter before inducing a harmless fly out to end the threat.
 
She squelched another potential rally in the seventh, as the Bulldogs put two runners on with nobody out and later loaded the bases.  Foley notched her 12th and final K for the first out and eventually coaxed a pair of outfield flies to seal the win.
 
Both UIndy runs came in the second inning.  Junior Taylor Russell led off the frame with a single up the middle.  An Alexa Alfaro sac bunt and a Tayler Weck single brought Russell around.  Weck later touched home on a Bulldog fielding error.
 
Williamson finished 2-or-3 with two singles and a steal.
 
GAME 2
The Bulldogs racked up seven base runners in the first two innings combined, but starting pitcher Morgan Lewis limited the damage to two runs.
 
Truman got on the board early with a solo homer by junior Andrea Klipsch in the first.  She notched a second RBI with a bases loaded walk in the second inning.
 
In the bottom half of the second, Alfaro hit a laser beam to left that was caught only by the outfield net, good for her second dinger of the season.
 
With the margin down to one, Lewis got into trouble again in the third, as she surrendered three straight singles to start the inning.  UIndy then turned to sophomore pitcher Coryn Tirpak.  With the Greyhound infield in, Tirpak calmly induced three consecutive groundouts to turn the Bulldogs away empty handed.  She continued to mow down  batters, finishing with five scoreless innings of two-hit ball to keep the game close.
 
TSU hurler Kelsea Dorsey (16-4) proved too much, however, as the sophomore starter gave up just three hits in the complete-game win.
 
Along with Alfaro's homer, senior Cori Eckerle had a third-inning double, Alfaro added a single in the fifth and Erika Goodwin was hit a pitch in the sixth to account for the whole of UIndy's base runners.
 
The Greyhounds are back at it Saturday, hosting cross-division Quincy in a doubleheader starting at noon ET.
