MARION, Ill. – The GLVC tournament run for the No. 10-ranked University of Indianapolis baseball team had ended after losing to the Lewis Flyer in their first game of the loser's bracket by a score of 12-4.
Â
The Flyers used a big four-run seventh and an even bigger six-run eighth to put the game out of reach late for the Hounds.
Â
Cole Hampton led the Hounds offensively, going yard in the fifth, making it a 2-RBI day for the All-GLVC Second Teamer.
Â
HOW IT HAPPENED
Drew Donaldson and Hampton combined for an early crooked number in the first, leaving it 2-0 after one. It took until the third for a Flyer response, with Chris McDevitt flying out to left for a sacrifice, bringing it to just a one run lead.
Â
UIndy eventually responded with their own run with
Cole Hampton demolishing a ball over the left field wall.
Â
Â
From there it was all Flyers. They tacked on a run in the fifth and then ten more unanswered, capitalizing on three errors by the Hounds in both the seventh and the eighth innings.
Â
UP NEXT
The Hounds await to see their fate in the NCAA Regional. Almost guaranteed a spot, the Hounds will see if they will host the regional at Greyhound Park or load the buses. The selection show takes place on Sunday, May 12 at 10:30 PM ET on NCAA.com/D2BSB
