INDIANAPOLIS – The University of Indianapolis baseball team lost the first and won the second of their Saturday doubleheader, with the Greyhounds earning a series split with the Cardinals. It was a repeat of the Friday doubleheader schedule, with the Cardinals taking game one 13-6, but the Hounds battled back forcing a split, sounding off a pair of homers to take game two 13-9.
 
The highlights of game two came via E.J. White who earned his first career win as a Greyhound, shutting out the high-powered offense of the Cardinals in game two over five innings. White's outing featured four punchouts, and no walks, allowing just three hits and one earned run.
 
Jared Bujdos offensively was the powerhouse of the second contest, crushing his fifth home run of the year while also nabbing four RBIs in the second contest. Brady Ware had a dinger in the second contest as well, tying Bujdos in the bomb category with five.
 
GAME 1 | JEWELL 13, UINDY 6
Game one saw a first inning run by the Hounds, with Zack Williams getting the Hounds going early. A three spot in the second by the Cardinals put the Hounds on their heels, with the Cardinals adding on another in the third via the long ball. A Williams double and then a Nick Lukac triple scored three with Bujdos roping a ball down the third base line for the final run of the inning.
 
Those runs were the only scoring threat the Hounds had, plating only one more in the contest in the sixth. Nine more runs came across for Jewell with two more balls being sent out.
 
GAME 2 | UINDY 13, JEWELL 9
Game four saw a clean opening frame for the first time in this series. The scoring drought did not remain however, with the Cardinals dropping a ball into shallow left field for the first score of the game. Brandon DeWitt and Drew Donaldson combined to take the lead right back in the bottom half of second, with Donaldson cracking his 12th double of the season, a team leading mark.
 
Keeping the pedal to the metal, the UIndy squad added four more in the third and the fourth, fighting off a big six spot by the visitors in the top of the fourth. The fourth is where the two big two-RBI bombs occurred from Ware and Bujdos.

Three more Greyhound runs came across in the fifth, one by a Lukac single and another two by sloppy Cardinal defense. The game quieted down from that point on, aside from excellent defensive efforts by DeWitt, robbing a home run, and Bujdos making a diving snag in left field.

White went one-two-three in the six through the eighth, with there being minor trouble in the top of the ninth due to a pair of Greyhound errors.
