COLLEGE PARK, Md. – The Butler baseball team came out on top in game one 2-0, but would fall to Georgetown in the nightcap 5-4. This is the fourth time this season that BU has split a doubleheader vs. a BIG EAST opponent.
 
Game One
Jack Myers won the seven-inning pitching duel against Jae Gnazzo to give the Bulldogs a 2-0 victory. Myers struck out eight and didn't issue a walk in his second complete game of the season. He limited the Hoyas to four hits to earn his fourth win of the 2021 campaign.
 
Each Butler run came in the fourth inning and each went down in the scorebook as unearned. Freddie Matos singled up the middle of the diamond to score Dan Harwood and would eventually come around to score a run on a hard groundout from Brody McGrath. BU had just three total hits with Matos collecting two of the three. Harwood stayed hot at the plate for the other.  
 
Game Two
The Hoyas were able to split the Thursday afternoon doubleheader with a walk-off hit from Bergeron in the bottom of the ninth. A single through the left side of the infield would score Eze to give the home team a 5-4 victory.
 
Butler was in control early after a James Gargano lead-off homer. Two more balls left the yard in the second with Matos and McGrath each hitting home runs. Matos sent a shot out to right center and McGrath got his ball out down the line in left.
 
Georgetown cut into the BU lead in the fourth with a groundout RBI from Hyde that scored Lotsis. A sac fly and scoring error in the fifth knotted the score at 3-3.
 
Matos homered again for BU in the seventh to regain the lead. GU once again would answer with a sac fly in the bottom half of the inning, making the score 4-4. Bergeron got the run home in the seventh with the sac fly and would win the game in the ninth with his first hit of the game.
 
Butler and Georgetown will return to the diamond tomorrow for a single game that starts at 1 PM.
