SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – The University of Indianapolis baseball team lost the last two games of their four game set against the No. 23-ranked University of Illinois-Springfield Prairie Stars.
 
GAME 1 – UIS 3, UIndy 0
For game one it was a tride and true pitching battle, with the Hounds tossing Brandon DeWitt who went six innings with four hits and eight Ks. The Hounds bats were quieted, minus a late triple by Easton Good and singles by DeWitt, Drew Donaldson and Will Spear.
 
The Prairie Stars were kept quiet by DeWitt throughout most of the contest but two blasts by their catcher, one in the fourth and one in the sixth were the difference makers.
 
GAME 2 – UIS 11, UIndy 6
Game two saw the UIS pitching staff continue to keep the Hounds off the scoreboard through four. Caleb Vaughn was the one to break the scoring drought, roping a single into centerfield scoring Good.
 
The Hounds were not content with just one, however, with Isaac Bair absolutely hammering a ball over the right field wall for a two-2RBI dinger. Denton Shepler was right behind Bair and he did the same, seeing two fastballs before crushing a slider over the wall, making it 4-3 in the Hounds favor.
 
The Prairie Stars refused to quit, answering back in the bottom of the fifth with a run to tie it up. They added more and more in the sixth, seventh, and eighth, hitting two homers of their own. Donaldson capped off the contest in the top of the ninth with a two run shot to right field for his second home run of the season.
 
UP NEXT
The Hounds have a brief respite before they're right back on the road again closing out the series with the Findlay Oilers at their place.
