BRIDGEPORT, W.V.—The No. 11 UIndy softball team upped its win streak to eight games with a doubleheader sweep at Salem University Sunday. The Greyhounds pummeled the Tigers with 15 hits in a convincing 9-0 shutout in game one, then pulled off a dramatic comeback win in game two, 5-3.
 
GAME 1 | UIndy 9, Salem 0 (6  innings)
For the second time this road trip, pitchers Kenzee Smith and Jayden Casebolt combined for a shutout. Smith (10-2) got the start and went five scoreless to get the win, while Casebolt finished the contest by striking out the side in order in the sixth.
 
The offense, meanwhile, generated seven runs in the first two frames to jump out to a sizable early lead. Both rallies featured an RBI single from Dominique Proctor and a run scored by Shelby Cook.
 
The loudest hit of the game came in the top of the sixth when Carlie Huelsing delivered a pinch-hit double, scoring Grace Mosele and Sydnee Perry.
 
GAME 2 | UIndy 5, Salem 3
Contrary to the opener, game two remained in doubt until the very end. The host Tigers managed three unearned runs in the bottom of the third to take a slim 3-2 lead. There the score stayed until the top of the sixth when sophomore Tori Angles came through with her first collegiate home run, a three-run bomb that put the Hounds up for good.
 
In the circle, starter Kaitlyn Brown (3-0) battled through six innings to eventually earn the win. Smith took the ball in the seventh and escaped a two-on, one-out predicament before slamming the door and earning her first save of the year.
