HAMMOND, Ind. – The University of Indianapolis baseball team capped off its road trip on Tuesday afternoon with a doubleheader split against the Pride of Purdue Northwest up north in Hammond. The Greyhounds have now won four of their last five contests and sit at 11-15 overall on the season.
 
GAME 1 | UIndy 5, PWN 1 (7 innings)
The Hounds opened the scoring in the first inning when Caleb Vaughn hit into and RBI groundout. This one-run advantage was held until the bottom half of the fifth which saw PNW collect one run of its own to tie the game.
 
It took a huge sixth inning by UIndy to finally jump ahead and grab the victory in Hammond.  The stretch began when Vaughn brought home two baserunners on a clutch RBI single to center field. Then, Drew Donaldson successfully hit into a sacrifice fly that scored another. Finally, the Greyhounds added the final run of the game thanks to a throwing error by the Pride.
