SOFTBALL EARNS SERIES WIN AT GREEN BAY WITH 8-7 VICTORY

Kasie Keyes hit her first collegiate home run in the finale

GREEN BAY, Wisc. – After a lengthy rain delay, the IUPUI softball team closed out the three-game series with an 8-7 victory, earning the series victory over Green Bay on Friday afternoon. Kasie Keyes hit her first collegiate home run in the win.
 
The Jaguars jumped on the board first with three runs in the first inning. Kayla Freiberg started the scoring off with an RBI single, scoring Kendal Calvert. Keyes then doubled to score Rachael Gregory and Freiberg to give IUPUI the early 3-0 lead.
 
IUPUI's pitching struggled with control in the bottom of the third inning. Due to rainy conditions, the game was paused after the Jags' pitching walked two batters across the plate bringing the score within one, 3-2. After a long rain delay, the game picked back up with the bases loaded and two outs. The next two Green Bay batters took back-to-back walks to take the lead, 4-3.
 
Down one, the Jaguars wasted no time and took the lead in the top of the fourth inning. Kennedy Cowan singled down the left field line to score Abbey Haas and Kennedy Warbritton. Gregory then reached safely on a fielding error by the Phoenix second baseman which allowed Jaida Speth to score, extending the IUPUI lead to 6-4.
 
The Phoenix retook the lead at 7-6 in the bottom half of the fourth frame with three runs all via IUPUI errors.
 
In the top of the fifth inning, Keyes knocked her first career homer to tie the game at 7-7. Then in the top of the sixth inning, Jordan Jenkins singled to left field to push the winning run across the plate, 8-7. IUPUI's defense held the Phoenix scoreless in the bottom of the sixth and seventh frames to seal the win.
 
Alexa Holman earned the win in the circle for IUPUI, throwing four scoreless frames with three strikeouts. Keyes went 3-for-4 with a double, home run and three RBI. Jenkins also collected three hits with one RBI. Speth hit two singles while Cowan collected two RBI on one hit. Freiberg and Haas each hit a single.  
 
IUPUI earns the series win over Green Bay and improves to 8-18 overall and 5-2 in Horizon League play. The Jags will now play a nonconference doubleheader on Tuesday, April 4 at Southern Indiana.
