WESTFIELD, Ind. – The No. 18 UIndy softball team (13-5, 2-0 GLVC) did not allow a run in 14 innings of play Saturday, sweeping a doubleheader versus Drury 2-0 and 7-0. Originally slated as the home opener, the twin bill was moved to the turf fields in Grand Park in nearby Westfield, Ind.
Â
GAME 1The Greyhounds would get all the runs they would need in the first inning.Â
Erika Goodwin and
Sydney Russell started the game with a single and a triple, respectively, with Russell scoring on an error for good measure.
Â
Starting pitcher
Morgan Foley (9-3) took care of the rest, dealing out 19 strikeouts in a one-hit masterpiece. Foley surrendered a second-inning single and three walks but was near perfect otherwise, striking out the side in five of seven frames. Her K total broke her own school record for most strikeouts in a seven-inning game, coming one short of tying the Division II record.
Â
GAME 2Freshman
Sam Hogan (4-0) continued to impress in her rookie season. She won her fourth straight decision while notching her first collegiate shutout. Hogan gave up just two hits without walking a single batter.
Â
The UIndy bats delivered a six-spot in the fourth inning. The rally was fueled by four straight hits to start the frame, including a two-run double from
Katie Kelly.
Â
Goodwin, who finished the game with three hits and two runs scored, also had two ribbies in the fourth.
Â
The Hounds head back to Grand Park Sunday for a twin bill with Missouri S&T Sunday starting at noon ET.
