LEBANON, Ill. – The UIndy baseball team was back in action today against McKendree in their series finale. The Hounds picked up the series win over the Bearcats with the 7-5 win Sunday afternoon to give them their 10th win of the season.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Greyhounds started the game off by scoring three runs in the top of the first to take the early 3-0 lead.

UIndy responded with a big seventh inning, scoring four runs in the inning to take the lead back. Ryan Simons brought in a run on a fielder's choice before John Carpinelli's sacrifice bunt the next batter brought in the second run of the inning. Macy Holdsworth tied the game with a double in the center field gap before coming around later to score on a Hunter Waning single to left to take a 7-4 lead late into the game. McKendree tried to make a push in the ninth inning, scoring a run but coming up short in the 7-5 UIndy win.
 
Jake Sprinkle got the start for the Greyhounds, pitching three and a third innings for the Hounds, fanning five of the 19 batters he faced while surrendering three runs.
