KANSAS CITY, Mo. – With runners at first and third, Caleb Vaughn went for second, swiping his fourth bag of the game, as well as setting a new single-season record for stolen bases in University of Indianapolis baseball history. Vaughn, now with 36 stolen bases on the season, surpassed a record that was set in 1991 by Dave Wilkerson.

Vaughn's historic effort was not in vain either, with the Greyhounds dominating the batter's box against the Rockhurst Hawks, scoring 19 runs on 22 hits. Of those 22, five of them were for extra bases with Jared Bujdos and Isaac Bair going back-to-back bombs in the sixth.
 
Drew Donaldson, not content with only one person making history in the contest, grabbed his sixth triple of the season, expanding his GLVC lead in the category, but also moving him into second place in the record book for single-season triples. Donaldson is now only the third Greyhound in program history to record six or more triples in a season, moving to tie Steve Montgomery from 1976.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Hounds were hot from the start, with the Greyhounds putting up a five-spot in the contest's opening frame. Vaughn was the first to get the Hounds going, beating out a bunt to first. He later would steal second, allowing Donaldson to swipe home. A Denton Shepler single and then a Bair double ended the inning with five for the good guys.
 
The Hawks answered back, however, throwing a crooked number of their own on the board against Seth Spencer. That was answered with two more by the Hounds in the second with Donaldson once again stealing home.
 
Both squads added runs in the fourth, but the fifth and six is where the Hounds did their damage. Bair, once again, grabbed an RBI single with Donaldson scoring both him and Brandon DeWitt with the aforementioned triple.

A Vaughn sacrifice fly capped off the four-run fifth. Bujdos and Bair's homers led off the seventh, with Vaughn later adding another RBI with a single to second. Two more ended up crossing in the sixth with an error scoring Dewy from third and Shepler roping a ball into right field for his fourth RBI of the game.
 
Ending the contest, the Hawks let a run cross on another error and then Vaughn singled into right which scored the 19th run of the day.
 
UP NEXT
The second game and third games of the four-game series with the Hawks are set to commence tomorrow in Kansas City, Mo. The first pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET.
