INDIANAPOLIS – Behind back-to-back shutouts from its pitching staff, the UIndy softball team earned a pair of in-region wins over visiting Ohio Dominican, 2-0 and 6-0, Wednesday afternoon. The opening contest a featured a one-hitter by freshman hurler Cheyenne Eads and a game-winning triple by junior Shelby Cook.
 
GAME 1 | UIndy 2, ODU 0
In an absolute pitchers' duel, the first hit of the game did not come until the top of the fourth inning when Panther outfielder Erica Massey found the outfield grass with a leadoff single. She eventually reached third base—the only Panther to do so all game—before Eads fanned the last two batters of the frame to keep it scoreless.
 
Eads herself broke up the ODU no-hit bid with a single in the bottom of the fourth, and later earned the Hounds' second hit with a two-out knock in the sixth. Josie Jager followed with a walk before Cook ripped a shot down the rightfield line, scoring both base runners on her way to third.

The lead held as Eads retired the Panthers in order in the seventh to seal the win. She moved to 10-7 on the year, striking out seven and walking just two. The outing was good for her third shutout of the season.
 
Brooklyn Willis had a stolen base, while Sydney Oliver, Cara Cooper and Eads all had success sacrifice bunts. Additionally, Jocelyn Calvin's second-inning walk was good for 100th career base on balls, making her just the fourth player in program history to reach triple digits in the metric.
 

Congrats to Jocelyn Calvin, just the 4th player in program history to reach 1?0?0? career walks! ??????#ONEHOUND pic.twitter.com/SKwPFzUKjQ

GAME 2 | UIndy 6, ODU 0
Unlike game one, the Hounds did not wait long to get on the board, as Eads' gapper in the bottom of the first staked them to a 1-0 lead. Cook added a sac fly in the third before UIndy took control with a four-run fourth. The decisive blow came off Calvin's bat when the senior infielder hit a two-out, bases-loaded double to score three runs and chase the ODU starting pitcher.
 
In the circle, senior Jayden Casebolt (8-2) and freshman Isabelle Noble combined for the shutout. Casebolt tossed six-plus scoreless innings before giving way to Noble. The rookie hurler got the final three outs, including the last two on a 4-3 double play.
 
Willis and Cara Cooper each had two hits and two runs, while Ella Palm had a single and a sac bunt.
