WESTFIELD, IN – The No. 5 UIndy baseball team began its three-game weekend series against Lake Erie with a 6-0 win. The trio of Diego Cardenas, Austin Bestul and Frankie Klemm pitched a two-hit shutout for the Greyhounds.

The game was moved to Grand Park Sports Campus in Westfield, IN today due to unplayable field conditions at Greyhound Park. 

INS & OUTS
UIndy's Cardenas and Lake Erie's Robert Helt had their arms dialed in today, both pitching shutouts with their starts, but both picking up no decisions in the contest.

The 2024 GLVC first-team honoree finished with 6.2 innings pitched with two hits and 10 strikeouts for the Hounds. This is only the second outing for Cardenas with double-digit strikeouts, the last coming against Quincy at Grand Park in 2024 when he had 11.

The bats didn't come alive for the Hounds until their five run seventh inning. Chase Mason's lead off home run put the Hounds up 1-0, which was followed by Easton Good's two RBI triple, and Austin Bode's RBI double to put the Hounds out in front 5-0 after seven innings.

Armen Torosian's sac-fly to left field in the bottom of the eighth brought in the game's final run, and closed out the Hounds dominating 6-0 victory in its first game of the season.
