HAMMOND, Ind. – The University of Indianapolis baseball team battled the Purdue Northwest Pride (9-25) in their second mid-week contest of the week, this time coming out on the victorious side, winning 6-3.

Offensively the bottom half of the lineup was incredibly productive for the Greyhounds with Jared Bujdos grabbing two RBIs and Easton Good going 3-5. Defense wise, the pitchers rebounded extremely well from a tough first inning, throwing eight scoreless innings with the Hounds only giving up one hit in the last three frames.

HOW IT HAPPENED
Frankie Klemm got the start on the bump, and after the bottom of the first it looked like the Klemm wasn't going to be going for long. After snagging two quick outs, Klemm was dinked around by multiple opposite filed singles scoring one, a double down the right-field line was the capstone of the three-run inning by the Pride.
 
Jared Bujdos saw the three-spot by the Pride and answered big, pulling a ball over the left field wall for his sixth bang of the year. That run opened the floodgates for the Greyhound offense as Zack Williams played some small ball with a sacrifice bunt in the third, scoring Drew Donaldson from third.

Caleb Vaughn and Nick Lukac kept the party rolling into the fifth with a pair of RBI singles giving the Hounds a 4-3 lead. The sixth is where Klemm's day ended, giving up another soft single and a walk. Klemm has a very quality outing, going 5 and a third, with three earned runs and a strikeout. He played well to his defense, eliciting weak contact all game.

The offense made on final push in the seventh, with Bujdos grabbing another RBI, with a screamer into centerfield, sending home Williams. Finally, a well-placed bunt by Good on a suicide squeeze scored Bujdos from third and had the speedy shortstop safe at first.

UP NEXT
The Hounds have a brief break before they're right back at it, this time making a lengthy road trip to Southwest Baptist on Friday to kick off a four-game GLVC series. First pitch of Friday's contest is set for 4 p.m.
