INDIANAPOLIS – The UIndy baseball team opened their three-game series with Southern Indiana today with a single game at Greyhound Park. The Hounds fell behind early, dropping game one to the Screaming Eagles, losing 13-5.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
USI put up two runs in the first inning before UIndy plated one the next inning. The Screaming Eagles came right back in the third inning with a big five-run inning and one more run in the fourth inning to push their lead to 8-1 over the Hounds. Another big inning from USI saw their lead swell up to 12-1 heading into the bottom of the fifth. The Greyhounds matched USI's big four-run inning with a four run inning of their own with Ryan Simons and Hunter Waning picking up an RBI and freshman Isaac Bair picking up a pair of RBIs. The Screaming Eagles tacked on one more run in the bottom of the seventh to push their lead up to 13-5.
