WINTER HAVEN, Fla.—The UIndy softball team wrapped up its stay in the Sunshine State with two Thursday wins, downing Caldwell University, 3-2, before blanking in-region Wayne State, 5-0. The Greyhounds finished THE Spring Games with a 5-1 record.
GAME 1 | UIndy 3, Caldwell 2
Trailing 2-1 through three-and-a-half innings, the Greyhounds managed the go-ahead rally in the bottom of the fourth. Reigning GLVC Player of the Year
Gianni Iannantone sparked the surge with a leadoff walk and later scored the tying run on a
Sydnie Foster single. Early-season standout
Dominique Proctor delivered the game-winning RBI in the very next at bat, plating Foster with a base hit.
Â
Haylie Foster got the starting nod in the circle, picking up win No. 10 with a complete-game effort. A two-run single in the third proved her only blemish. She allowed just three hits and two walks while striking out seven.
Â
Lexy Rees finished 3-for-3 in the game, including an RBI double in the first.
Â
GAME 2 | UIndy 5, Wayne St. 0
Proctor continued her hot hitting in the Florida finale, driving the game's first pitch over the left-center fence. That was all
Kenzee Smith (10-1) needed, as the Hounds' pitching ace went on to spin a two-hit shutout. She fanned nine Warriors on walked only one.
Â
The Hounds added two runs in both the third and fourth innings.
Megan Nichols had a run-scoring double, while Rees and S. Foster each added RBI singles.
Â
UIndy racked up five doubles in all with eight batters notching at least one hit. Haylie and Sydnie shared the team lead with two knocks apiece.
