WINTER HAVEN, Fla. – For the second straight day, the UIndy softball team (14-5) recorded a pair of one-sided wins at the massive Spring Games in Winter Haven, Fla. Tuesday marked the final day of competition at the annual event for the Greyhounds, who finished 6-2 on their trip.
Â
GAME 1 | UIndy 4, Urbana 0
Junior
Hallie Waters (8-2) extended her scoreless streak to 19 innings, spinning another complete-game shutout. The all-region pitcher racked up eight Ks against zero walks while allowing just four hits – all singles. She has compiled a 19:2 strikeout-to-walk ratio in her last three outings.
Â
Meanwhile, freshman
Emily O'Connor blasted a two-run homer in the first inning, her third bomb in as many games. It highlighted a three-run rally, and with Waters dealing, it proved more than enough for the win.
Â
GAME 2 | UIndy 11, Upper Iowa 1 (6 inn.)
Leading by a single run heading into the fourth, the Hounds exploded for 10 runs in the next three innings combined. Freshman
Maddy Stout lit the fuse with a three-run homer, while O'Connor and
Hanna Burris each added a two-run double.
Â
Lauren Honkomp (5-2) went the distance in the circle, surrendering four hits and a lone unearned run in six innings of work.
Sydnie Foster had a pair of knocks and
Gianni Iannantone chipped in a single and an RBI.

UP NEXT
The Hounds finally start GLVC play this weekend with a road doubleheader at Southern Indiana Saturday followed by a home twin bill versus McKendree Sunday.
