GAME 1: INDIANA 8, Detroit Mercy 0
Indiana leads the series 1-0
KEY MOMENTS
• The Hoosiers got the scoring started in the bottom of the second. Following walks from Madalyn Strader, Hannah Haberstroh, and Alli Gavin to load the bases, Cassidy Kettleman drove a ball into shallow left field to score Strader, giving the Hoosiers a 1-0 lead.
• On the defensive side, starter Aubree Hooks and the Hoosier defense shut down the Titans early, opening the game with three straight 1-2-3 innings.
• The first hit of the game didn't come until the bottom of the fourth, when Eillie Goins hit a shot to the wall in left center for a stand-up double. Goins would later score, as Kettleman would tack on her second RBI of the game with a single, extending the lead to 2-0.
• The Hoosiers continued to add insurance runs in the bottom of the fourth, as an error in the infield would allow Peyton Drummond to score, a triple from Aly VanBrandt brought Kettleman home, and a sac fly from Avery Parker would bring in VanBrandt to make it 5-0 after 4.
• The Hoosiers continued to pile on the runs, as a double from Gavin would score Goins, giving Goins a multi-run outing. Gavin would later score on a wild pitch to extend the lead to 7-0 for Indiana.
• The final runs would come as a result of a Strader single through the right side, which would bring home pinch-runner Neveah Nash to make it 8-0 Hoosiers.
