Indiana Bats Come Alive as No. 19 IU Sweeps Final Day of Hoosier Classic
3/17/2019 6:45:00 PM | Softball
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – No. 19 Indiana Softball combined for five home runs in the final two games of the Hoosier Classic to defeat Saint Francis, 13-6, and Ohio, 6-4.
Freshman Juvia Davis and sophomore Annika Baez each went yard twice on the day while IU knocked a pair of grand slams against Saint Francis.
Game One: No. 19 Indiana 13, Saint Francis 6
KEY MOMENTS
• Indiana went up early as senior Sarah Galovich sent a sacrifice fly to left field in the second to plate Makayla Ferrari, who was in running for Baez.
• The Red Flash took a 4-1 lead in the fourth on a three-run homer by Sierra McKee and RBI single up the middle by Brittney Crawford.
• However, the Hoosiers responded immediately as Baez led off the bottom of the fourth with a double and sophomore Maddie Westmoreland and freshman Brittany Ford drew a walk to load the bases. Davis then brought everyone home on a shot to left field, her first career home run.
• The lead didn't last long as a two-run single from McKee in the next inning put Saint Francis back up, 6-5.
• IU answered right back, stringing together five hits and plating seven runs in the home half of the fifth. First, Baez knocked a leadoff homer to tie the game at 6-6. Then a double by sophomore Camryn Woodall, hit by pitch to Galovich and fielder's choice by sophomore Taylor Lambert loaded the bases. An RBI groundout from junior Gabbi Jenkins plated Woodall before Galovich came home on an RBI single by junior Bella Norton. Sophomore Grayson Radcliffe then delivered the second grand slam of the game on a shot to right center to push IU's lead to 12-6.
• The final run came off the bat of Davis, who hit a solo two-out homer in the sixth.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
• Davis finished the game going 3-for-4 at the plate with five RBI. Entering the game, the freshman had just one career hit.
• The four RBI from Radcliffe is a new career high.
• The Hoosiers drew seven walks in the win, including two apiece to Norton and junior Katie Lacefield.
• Indiana's 13 runs scored was a season high, as are the team's nine stolen bases. Junior Gabbi Jenkins led the way with three stolen bags.
• The four home runs are the most this season and the most for the program since hitting four at Purdue last season.
• Senior Tara Trainer earned the win in the circle, tossing 3.0 frames in relief and allowing just one hit while fanning five.
Game Two: No. 19 Indiana 6, Ohio 4
KEY MOMENTS
• Woodall gave Indiana a 1-0 lead in the second as she singled to left to plate Radcliffe, who reached base after being hit by a pitch.
• The Bobcats tied up the game in the fourth on a solo homer from Morgan Geno.
• Davis once again delivered for Indiana in the home half of the fourth as she collected a two-out RBI single to third base, bringing in Radcliffe. Radcliffe had reached base on a head's up play as she beat the throw on a dropped third strike.
• An RBI single by Norton brought home Jenkins in the fifth before a two-run opposite field homer by Baez pushed Indiana's lead to 5-2.

Head Coach Shonda Stanton
"I like our group and what's happened this season so far. We've played six weekends and every weekend we've come away with a winning record. That's what I've liked about this group. This week we suffered some losses that we wouldn't have liked but we continue to fight and continue to bounce back.
It was nice to see the offensive production and it came from a number of different kids. Juvia Davis had quite the day and was ready when her number was called. Annika Baez was big at the plate for us as well and really helped set the tone."
Freshman Juvia Davis
"It was honestly one of those moments where it was so surreal and I was totally in the moment. I think this team is very special and coming in as a freshman I didn't really know what to expect. We're just having a lot of fun and playing well together."
UP NEXT
Indiana (25-6) enters Big Ten play this weekend as the Hoosiers travel to Columbus, Ohio to face Ohio State. All game will be streamed on BTN Plus.
