HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – The Bulldogs posted a 6-1 win over Alabama A&M on Wednesday night. Four different Butler student-athletes helped limit Alabama A&M to just two hits in the contest.
 
Butler took a 2-1 lead after the top of the fifth inning and would add some insurance with two runs in the seventh and two more in the eighth. Brody McGrath, Robbie McCargar, and Duncan Hewitt were all credited with RBI's. McCargar was the hit leader with three. Zach Jarosz also walked away with a multi-hit game.
 
Alabama's lone run came across home plate in the bottom of the first inning. That slim advantage would hold until the fifth when BU scored two runs off two hits. Jarosz led off the frame with a single to left and he would steal second base to move into scoring position. A sac bunt moved Jarosz to third and Kyle Smith to second. The big at-bat for Butler came from McCargar who doubled to give the team the lead.
 
The 2-1 edge moved to 4-1 after the seventh. Harrison Freed and McCargar would each cross home plate after an error.
 
The game was decided in the eighth with Butler adding on two more runs. Jarosz singled and would eventually score off an error. The second run came home on a McGrath groundout RBI.
 
Kevin Napoleon got the start for Butler on the mound and would throw the first four innings of the game. The win would belong to Alex Voss who took over on the rubber for the next three frames. Ryan Schmit and Jack Pilcher also threw an inning for BU.
 
Spring Break week will continue this weekend with Butler hosting Western Michigan. Games one and three will be played at Bulldog Park. The second game on Saturday has been moved to Grand Park.
