INDIANAPOLIS – The UIndy baseball team dropped their final game of the weekend series against Davenport 8-1 on Sunday. The day began with the resumption of game three's eighth and ninth innings, after game three was suspended due to darkness on Saturday.
This is the third straight loss, and their ninth loss in the last ten games for UIndy, after beginning the season 5-0 with a series win over Lake Erie and splitting their series against Hillsdale.
