INDIANAPOLIS—The UIndy baseball team wrapped up its opening weekend with a series sweep, taking the third and final game versus visiting Notre Dame College by a final score of 13-1. After a record-breaking offensive outburst Saturday, the Greyhounds tacked on a baker's dozen to its season run total, which now stands at 62 after just three games.
 
INS & OUTS
Starting pitcher Logan Peterson put in a solid outing before being pulled after loading the bases with just one out in the top of the sixth. E.J. White came on in relief with the Hounds up 6-1 and the bases juiced, and needed just two pitches to induce a tailor-made double-play ball to end the threat.
 
UIndy officially snatched back the momentum the next half inning when Drew Donaldson put the cherry on his impressive weekend with a two-run triple. The Hounds went on to plate seven runs in the bottom of the sixth to all but put it away.
 
Peterson (1-0) finished with a line of 5 1/3 innings, seven Ks, two walks and just one earned run allowed. White and Wyatt Phillips combined to pitch 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief, with Phillips striking out the side in the top of the seventh before the 10-run rule was enforced.
 
DH Brady Ware had his second homer of the weekend with an absolute bomb in the third inning. First baseman Denton Shepler and catcher Isaac Bair added two doubles apiece, while the latter also threw out a pair of would-be base stealers from behind the dish.
 
Caleb Vaughn managed a double and two stolen bases and Easton Good finished with three hits.
