DETROIT (5-2-25) - In her last game as a Titan and first start of the season, junior Chloe Spitzer left it all out on the field tossing 7.0 scoreless innings with two strikeouts as Detroit Mercy fell 5-0 to IU Indy in a pitcher's duel during the first leg of doubleheader action on Senior Day Saturday at Buysse Ballpark. UDM fell 10-1 in the nightcap.

After allowing only one hit in the first and second innings, Sptizer held the Jags without a hit until the top of the eighth inning, where they broke through with a grand slam home run. Conversely, the Titans (10-33, 7-17 HL) drew four walks but only recorded one hit by freshman Madeline Hallman against IU Indy (21-15, 15-9 HL) pitcher Alexa Holman.
