SAUGET, Ill.—The UIndy baseball team extended its GLVC win streak to eight with a doubleheader sweep at McKendree Sunday afternoon. The Greyhounds orchestrated an 18-1 rout in game one before earning an 8-6 comeback win in the capper.
 
The Hounds have now played two four-series against conference opponents, sweeping both to start GLVC play a perfect 8-0.
 
GAME 1 | UIndy 18, McK 1
The Hounds sprinted out of the gate with seven runs in the top of the first to take an early lead. The margin ballooned to 14 after three-and-a-half innings before the Bearcats finally got on the board in the bottom of the fifth.
 
Easton Good racked up seven RBIs in the contest, matching the highest total by a Greyhound since 2009. The Kokomo, Ind., native came up big twice with the bases loaded, stroking a two-out, three-run triple in the first before launching a grand slam to right in the fourth.
 
Cole Hampton also went yard, hitting a three-run shot in the sixth inning. All-American Drew Donaldson finished 2-for-2 with three walks and three runs, while Dakota Sill and Will Spear added two hits apiece.
 
Starting pitcher Logan Peterson scattered three hits and two walks in five innings of work. He struck out four on the way to the win, moving his record to 1-1 on the season. Relievers Bennett Rogers and Brady Mundell each tossed a scoreless inning.
 
GAME 2 | UIndy 8, McK 6
After another homer from Good put the Hounds up 4-0 in the second, the host Bearcats responded with six unanswered runs to take the lead.

Facing a two-run deficit heading into the seventh and final frame, Hampton delivered a clutch one-out double, scoring Good and Caleb Vaughn to tie the score. Dakota Sill successfully laid down a squeeze bunt to plate Zack Williams with the go-ahead score, while Nick Lukac's RBI groundout provided an insurance run.
 
E.J. White (1-1) earned the pitching win with three solid innings of relief.  The veteran sidearmer entered to face a bases-loaded, no-out jam before retiring nine of the 10 batters he faced to help facilitate the comeback.
