CLERMONT, Fla. – The No. 16 UIndy softball team split a pair of contests at THE Spring Games Wednesday afternoon. UIndy fell to Saint Martin's, 11-7, before cruising to a run-rule win over Sheperd, 9-1.

UIndy 9, Shepherd 1 (5 inn.)
UIndy used a big first inning to take control in the bottom of the first. The Hounds batted around in the frame, racking up three walks and five singles to chase Shepherd starter Abby McBride before she could get three outs.
 
McBride's counterpart, meanwhile, notched a complete game. Pitcher Cheyenne Eads evened her record at 5-5, hanging four zeros on the board before the Rams managed a single tally in the fifth.
 
The Greyhounds responded with a four spot in the bottom of the fifth to walk it off via run-rule. Each of the first four UIndy batters in the inning reached base and eventually scored.
 
Brooklyn Willis and Sydney Oliver combined for four hits and three runs scored. Jocelyn Calvin had a single and two walks, while Josie Jager was credited with two RBIs.

St. Martin's 11, UIndy 7
Cheyenne Eads' RBI groundout in the top of the first gave the Hounds an early lead, but the Saints responded with crooked numbers in three of the next four innings to pull away.
 
UIndy's top two hitters—Jocelyn Calvin and Cara Cooper—combined for five of the Greyhounds 12 hits and five of their 11 runs. Collecting two singles and a double, Cooper extended her hit streak to 11 games.
 
Eads garnered an RBI on each of her first three plate appearances.
