INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Drury defeated Indianapolis in the final game of their series with the Greyhounds on Saturday. The Panthers were able to hold off a late rally from Indy, taking the game with a score of 6-3.

The Panthers now have a GLVC record of (12-8) on the season, while Indy moves to (5-11).

The Panthers had a strong showing offensively, with Luke Burk reaching base on a walk in the first inning. Kellen Williamson would take care of the rest, launching a homer to left field, giving the Panthers an early 2-0 lead.

The Greyhounds would pick up a run of their own in the second inning, after a successful sacrifice bunt from Will Spear. The game bats for both teams would go silent until the seventh when Max Elmer and Connor Bain singled for the Panthers to start a rally. Cooper Munro placed a bunt down, reaching base after an error by the pitcher.
