TRIADELPHIA, W.V. – The No. 16 UIndy softball team wrapped up its trip to West Virginia Friday with a pair of shutout victories over West Liberty University. Cheyenne Eads and Jayden Casebolt combined to pitch 14 scoreless innings on the day, lifting the Greyhounds to wins of 6-0 and 2-0 over the Hilltoppers.
 
The games were contested indoors at the Highlands Sports Complex in Triadelphia, W.V., located a short drive from the West Liberty campus.
 
GAME 1 | UIndy 6, WLU 0
Twenty-four hours after tossing her first collegiate no-hitter, freshman Cheyenne Eads threw a complete-game shutout to even her record at 2-2 on the year. She racked up 11 strikeouts on the day, upping her total on the week to 23 Ks in 12 total innings.
 
UIndy snuck across the game's first run with a double steal in the top of the first, with freshman leadoff hitter Sydney Oliver swiping home.
 
The Hounds took control with a four-run second inning, with Cara Cooper, Jocelyn Calvin and Brooklyn Willis earning RBIs. Ella Palm and Oliver both earned a base on balls and eventually came around to score.
 
Shelby Cook's solo shot in the seventh capped the game's scoring.
 
GAME 2 | UIndy 2, WLU 0
Game-two starter Jayden Casebolt (3-1) won the first pitchers' duel of the road trip. The senior spun her first shutout of the season, limiting the Hilltoppers to five hits while striking out seven and allowing just one walk.
 
With Casebolt dealing, the Greyhounds pushed across the eventual game winner in the top of the third and later an insurance run in the seventh. Third-inning singles from Calvin and Eads and a hit by pitch from Palm loaded the bases for Cooper, who coaxed a walk to put the Hounds ahead. Eads later lifted a ball to center for a sac fly, scoring pinch runner Peyton Cusack with the final tally.
 
Maya Rodriguez and Emma Piercy had a single apiece, Oliver added a double, while Palm gunned down a would-be base stealer at second base in the fifth.
