INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana State Sycamores scored seven of their 11 runs in the top of the third inning to claim an 11-4 victory against Butler on Tuesday night. The game at Victory Field was played under the lights in front of 827 fans.

Butler added two runs in the bottom of the third with Zach Jarosz and Duncan Hewitt both crossing home plate. Each run went down unearned in part to a throwing error that allowed Tyler Houston to reach base.

Jarosz and Dall each recorded two hits. The BU hit total was rounded out by Duncan Hewitt and Freed.
