SMYRNA, Tenn. - The UIndy softball team swept their competition on the final day of the Music City Invitational. The Greyhounds defeated Cedarville first with a win over Gannon following. The Hounds conclude their time in Nashville 3-0.
 
GAME 1 | UIndy 7, Cedarville 5
With the game tied at 1-1 in the bottom of the fourth, Jocelyn Calvin sent the ball into the outfield. Calvin reached second base with the hit and earned two RBIs too, increasing the score to 3-1. Later in the inning, Lexy Rese hit a single and earned two RBIs of her own. By the end of the fourth inning, the Greyhounds led the Yellow Jackets 5-1.
 
Cedarville was able to add a run in the fifth but UIndy responded with two more of their own. With Grace Mosele on base after hitting a double, Megan Nichols later hit a sacrifice fly to bring the runner in. Emily O'Connor capped the scoring with an RBI single.
 
The Jackets made things interesting in the seventh. They rallied to cut the deficit to two, but Jayden Casebolt came on to get the final two outs to earn the save.
 
Casebolt was one of three Greyhounds who entered the circle during the contest. Kenzee Smith started and pitched for three innings, while Kaitlyn Brown tossed 3 1/3 and ultimately earned the win.
 
GAME 2 | UIndy 10, Gannon 7
For the second time in as many days, Emily O'Connor broke a major school record in UIndy's dominant performance against Gannon. A day after breaking the school's career RBI mark, O'Connor broke the UIndy career doubles record against the Golden Knights. The previous record belonged to Casey Williamson, who hit 59 career doubles from 2012-15.

O'Connor had an RBI double in the second innings that helped fuel a four-run rally for the Hounds, while the record breaker came in the fifth.
