Miami answered with a run of its own in the bottom half to even the score at 1-1.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThe Jaguars regained control in the second inning. After <a href=\"https:\/\/iuindyjags.com\/sports\/softball\/roster\/kinsey-pfeiffer\/7850\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"7850\" target=\"_blank\">Kinsey Pfeiffer<\/a> was hit by a pitch, <a href=\"https:\/\/iuindyjags.com\/sports\/softball\/roster\/kalilah-dela-cruz\/8714\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"8714\" target=\"_blank\">Kalilah Dela Cruz<\/a> came on to pinch run and later stole home to put IU Indy ahead. Kable added an RBI single later in the inning to extend the lead to 3-1.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nIU Indy tacked on two more runs in the third without recording a hit. Pfeiffer was again hit by a pitch and <a href=\"https:\/\/iuindyjags.com\/sports\/softball\/roster\/reese-rosenbaum\/8708\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"8708\" target=\"_blank\">Reese Rosenbaum<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/iuindyjags.com\/sports\/softball\/roster\/mae-munson\/8716\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"8716\" target=\"_blank\">Mae Munson<\/a> drew walks to load the bases. Blackwell and <a href=\"https:\/\/iuindyjags.com\/sports\/softball\/roster\/paige-mcphearson\/7875\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"7875\" target=\"_blank\">Paige McPhearson<\/a> each worked RBI walks to push the Jaguars&#8217; lead to 5-2.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nMiami began chipping away in the fourth with an RBI single to cut the deficit to 5-3. The RedHawks tied the game in the fifth on a sacrifice fly and an RBI single, making it 5-5. In the sixth inning, Danitza Hernandez delivered the decisive blow with a solo home run to left field to give Miami a 6-5 lead.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nIU Indy threatened in the seventh. Rosenbaum singled to start the inning and the Jaguars later loaded the bases with one out, but Miami escaped the jam to seal the victory.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nBlackwell and Munson each had two hits to pace the Jaguars&#8217; eight-hit effort, while Kable drove in two runs. Dela Cruz added a stolen base and a run scored in the loss.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/iuindyjags.com\/sports\/softball\/roster\/callie-dickerson\/8698\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"8698\" target=\"_blank\">Callie Dickerson<\/a> (0-3) went the distance in the circle for IU Indy, allowing six runs on 13 hits over six innings.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThe Jags will close out the EKU Invitational tomorrow with two games.
