SOMERS, Wis. - The UIndy baseball team (25-18, 7-11 GLVC) had several "first time since" moments on Saturday afternoon in its game-one victory at Wisconsin-Parkside. The Rangers salvaged the day in the nightcap, blanking the Greyhounds, but after the visiting Crimson and Grey plated 27 runs in the series opener. 

UIndy 27, UWP 8
The Greyhounds had 26 hits in the victory, their most since April 25, 2009. Nick Miller led the team with a career-high five knocks, including two doubles and four RBI, while Dylan Jones led the team with five driven in. 

The team's 27 runs is the most in just over nine years when the team scored 27 on March 25, 2009. It is also the most the Hounds have scored in a conference game since the team had 26 hits against the same Rangers. 

Eight players recorded a hit, while each starter reached base at least twice. Seven Greyhounds recorded a multi-hit game, while Tyler Phillips had four and Hunter Waning had three, who also drove in three runs. Storm Joop and Phillips scored four runs themselves, while Holdsworth, Jones, and Waning scored three each. 

As a team, the Hounds hit eight two-baggers, the most in a game since March 12, 2011. Holdsworth, Miller, and Phillips each had two doubles, while Jones and Waning had one. Jones had the only triple of the game. UIndy also drew 11 walks, the most free passes the Hounds have taken since March 19, 2017. Five Greyhounds, including Joe Kenney, walked twice. 

Jake Sprinkle tossed five innings to earn the win, while John Hendry struck out five in working the final four frame. 

UWP 4, UIndy 0
The bats froze in the nightcap, unable to have an answer for the Parkside starter as the Hounds mustered just four hits in the loss. 

Southpaw Tyler Hosto scattered four hits for one run over four innings, which proved to be enough damage for the Rangers. Holdsworth, Joop, and Miller followed up their game-one efforts with a hit, while Trey Smith rounded out the offense for the Greyhounds with a single of his own. 

Cole Humphrey worked the final 1.1 innings without allowing a run, as he is now up to 7.2 frames with an ERA of just 1.17.

The Hounds and Rangers wrap up the four-game set tomorrow afternoon at 1 p.m. ET at Oberbruner Field in Somers.
