COLUMBUS, Ohio – The UIndy softball team (28-10) ventured out of conference Wednesday, traveling to Ohio Dominican University for a doubleheader. The in-region Panthers (20-15) escaped with a pair of one-run victories versus the No. 15 Greyhounds.
 
GAME 1 | ODU 1, UIndy 0
The game's lone run was an unearned tally in the bottom of the fourth. Starter Lauren Honkomp (10-5) retired the first two batters of the frame but the third reached on a Greyhound fielding error. Back-to-back singles followed, the latter of which plated pinch runner Audry Rolon with what held up as the game winner.
 
Meanwhile, the Hounds managed just two hits off ODU starter Abby Lamping (8-6). Freshmen Brooke Montgomery and Gianni Iannantone each had a single, while junior Taylor Podschweit added a walk and a stolen base.
 
GAME 2 | ODU 3, UIndy 2
Ohio Dominican put the pressure on early with two runs in the bottom of the first on three singles, a walk and an error.
 
The Greyhounds knotted it up in the third when Iannantone delivered a two-out, two-run single to score Montgomery and Jessie Noone. But a solo home run from ODU in the fifth proved to be the difference.
 
Montgomery later doubled in the seventh to put the tying run in scoring position, but she was ultimately stranded.
 
Reliever Halie Waters took the loss in the circle. She came on in the first to defuse a base-loaded situation and pitched the final 5 1/3 innings and gave up only one run.

The Greyhounds will host Truman State University Friday at 3:30 p.m. ET. The game was moved up a day due to Saturday's wet forecast.
