SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – The UIndy baseball team traveled west to face the Drury Panthers in another GLVC doubleheader. The Hounds ran into a hot Panther squad, winners of three straight coming into today's games and continued their streak winning the first game but the Hounds came back in the second game to split with the Panthers on the road.

The Panthers led off the game with a two-run single in the bottom of the first inning and followed their hot start with a big second inning as well.

A huge first inning for the Hounds gave them all the momentum and support the pitching staff needed to take the win in game two. The Hounds brought in eight runs in the top of the first inning with Holdsworth and Tyler Phillips each picking up two RBIs in the inning while Blake Richardson, Devon Hensley, and Kyle Orloff all bringing in a run of their own to jump out to the quick 8-0 lead. The Hounds plated two more runs in the seventh with Hunter Waning coming in to score and Richardson scored for the second time on a Jake Perreira sacrifice fly as the Hounds held on to the 10-0 win.
