No. 4 Catawba def. No. 11 INDIANAPOLIS, 2-1 | BOX | RECAP
CARY, N.C.- The 11th-ranked University of Indianapolis baseball team opened play at the NCAA Division II Championship with a 2-1 loss to No. 4 Catawba Sunday.
After arriving in town some 86 hours ago, the Greyhounds (46-15) finally took the field. In their way was a Catawba club (44-15) that defeated four of the nation's top-seven teams to win the Southeast Regional last week.
UIndy pitchers Donovan Drake and Chris Saroff combined to allow just three hits in nine innings, but with the Greyhound offense generating just one run, Indian second baseman Julio Zubillaga delivered a two-run single in the sixth that proved to be the game winner.
Now in the losers' bracket, the Greyhounds have no margin of error in the double-elimination tourney. They'll face the loser of today's St. Mary's/Delta State match-up. First pitch in the elimination game is set for Tuesday at 3 p.m.
