ROMEOVILLE, Ill. – The No. 20-ranked University of Indianapolis baseball team dropped their first contest in two weeks, losing the series opener in Romeoville, Ill. to the Lewis Flyers by a score of 5-2.
 
Late offense was the key to victory for the home team, with the Flyers plating a big three spot in the bottom of the seventh to capture their win.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
Diego Cardenas toed the slab for the Hounds, and it looked to be another quality start for him, only giving up two runs through the first six innings.
 
The offense on the other side, struggled to string together hits, only plating runs in the sixth and the seventh. Caleb Vaughn was responsible for one of the two, launching one over the left field wall that has no doubts about it to bring the game to a 2-2 tie after the top of the seventh.
 
However, still battling the tough Cardenas, the Flyers powered the long ball as well, hammering three out of the park in the bottom half of the frame to ice it.
 
UP NEXT
The Hounds will play the doubleheader of the set tomorrow at 1 p.m. ET in Romeoville, Ill.
