INDIANAPOLIS – The Butler baseball team set multiple team-high totals on Saturday afternoon as they defeated the visiting Wabash Little Giants by the final score of 16-2. The Bulldogs recorded a season-high 19 hits in the win with 12 different players recording at least one hit.

Butler spread out the scoring total by pushing at least one run across home plate in seven of eight innings. Ryan Wojciechowski tied the game at 1-1 with an RBI single in the bottom of the first and Tyler Houston would give Butler their first lead of the game with a two run shot over the fence in left field.

The bottom of the third featured Butler scoring three more runs to take a 6-1 lead and Houston would return to help Butler in the fifth with an RBI single to left center.

BU put the game out of reach by adding five more runs to their total in the bottom of the sixth. Wojciechowski, Michael Fries and Garrett Christman generated the five runs off four hits. The scoring total would round out with two more in the seventh, followed by the final two runs of the game in the eighth.

Houston ended the game going 2-for-3 from the plate with three RBIs and a run scored. Wojciechowski went 3-for-4 for the Bulldogs with three RBIs and two runs scored while freshman Garrett Christman also impacted the game with two hits, three RBIs and two runs scored.

Butler put three different pitchers on the mound in the win over Wabash. Junior Chris Myjak got the start and gave Butler six solid innings of work to limit the Little Giants to two runs off five hits. He was replaced in the sixth inning by Josh Goldberg who went 1.2 innings with a clean slate and one strikeout. The last arm used in the contest was Peter Nyzynk who nearly struck out the side with a nice ninth inning.

The Bulldogs will be looking for the weekend sweep tomorrow when they host Indiana Tech at 1 p.m. Nick Morton is scheduled to get the start.
