EVANSVILLE – The Purple Aces scored four runs in the first inning and three more in the seventh to record a decisive 10-1 victory in game three of the weekend series. The 'Dawgs move to 3-4 overall while the Aces improve to 9-10.
 
Pitching was the difference in this one as the Bulldogs were limited to just three hits. Andy Bennett doubled with two outs in the second inning and Brody McGrath would do the same after him in the order to get Butler on the scoreboard. James Gargano would record the third hit of the day for BU in the fifth with a single to right.
 
The Purple Aces homered twice in the fourth and once more in the seventh to put the game away. John MacCauley was charged with the loss (1-1) while Donovan Schultz picked up his first win of the season. Schultz threw five innings and struck out five. Eric Roberts and Jakob Meyer didn't allow a single hit once entering the game from the Evansville bullpen.
 
Butler will get back on the diamond Tuesday with a road trip to Kentucky. First pitch is set for 6:30 PM.
