INDIANAPOLIS – A 10-run opening frame lifted the UIndy baseball team to another in-region victory on Tuesday, defeating the visiting Findlay Oilers from Greyhound Park by a score of 13-5.
 
Nine different Greyhounds recording at least one RBI in the win, with Dakota Sill and Armen Torosian each drilling a homer in the fifth inning.

INS & OUTS
The Hounds collected just two hits in the massive first inning, using patience at the plate with four free passes to toss the crooked number – and put the game out of reach immediately – on the scoreboard.
 
Cole Hampton opened the scoring with a double down the right-field line, chasing home Easton Good and Caleb Vaughn with one out. UIndy proceeded to draw four consecutive walks, with Bryce Goodwine capping the stretch to score Sill.
 
In his second at-bat of the frame, Zack Williams finished off the scoring with a two-RBI knock, with Drew Donaldson following Good home to give UIndy double-digit runs for the ninth time this season.
 
The Oilers chipped away, scoring five times over a period of three separate innings, including two runs in the ninth off a homer from Findlay's Ryan Thompson.
 
Starting pitcher Diego Cardenas struck out a career-best nine batters over 5.2 innings of work, allowing two earned runs on four hits to earn the win.
 
INSIDE THE BOX
- Cardenas induced four groundouts and four flyouts in the outing.
- Dom Brown drew a pair of walks and was credited with one RBI.
- Reliever Caden Wilburn struck out the side in his inning of work in the eighth.
- UIndy scored double-digit runs for the fifth time in the past seven contests.
