MARION, Ill. – The No. 10-ranked University of Indianapolis baseball team, in their first game of the GLVC conference tournament, scored a 5-2 victory over the eight-seeded Lewis Flyers.
Easton Good set the tone for the Greyhounds throughout the entire contest, going 3 for 4 from the plate with two RBIs and three runs scores. Those two ribbies came with some EG3 swagger as well, as the junior from Kokomo, Ind. absolutely demolished a ball over the right field wall in the seventh to give the Hounds the three-run lead they carried to the end.
The pitching was everything the Hounds needed as well as
Logan Peterson delivered four innings of one-run ball. The bullpen took over from there as
Payton Plym,
Austin Bestul and
E.J. White limited the Flyers to two hits and one run over the final five frames.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Good established himself early, leading off the game with a first pitch triple down the line. Just one pitch later, a passed ball scored Good from third giving the Hounds a lead they never let up.
After two more clean frames by Peterson,
Zack Williams rewarded him with another run, scoring Good on an RBI single. A Flyer bomb with the bases empty brought it back down to the run lead just a frame later.
The Flyers and Hounds traded runs in the bottom sixth and top seventh setting the stage for Good's theatric two-run bomb in the bottom seventh.
From that point, Bestul and White cooked, with the pair recording six outs, all of them being strikeouts.
