INDIANAPOLIS – Butler picked up a pair of wins on Sunday to even their overall record at 7-7. The day got underway with an 8-5 victory and ended with a 9-5 win over Western Illinois. These two clubs will come together again tomorrow for a single game beginning at 4 PM.
 
Game one got off to a rocky start with the Leathernecks opening up a 5-0 lead after the first three innings. Lukas Galdoni got Butler back in the game with a three-run home run in the fourth to make the score 5-4. An Aaron Steinhart double in the fifth would send two runs home to give Butler the lead and the 'Dawgs got some insurance with two more runs in the seventh.
 
John MacCauley came in to record his second win on the mound and the save would go to Derek Drees (2). Steinhart would go 3-for-3 from the plate with two RBI and two runs scored.
 
BU never trailed in game two. They opened up a 9-0 lead after the third inning and would get to the finish line on five strong bullpen innings from Jon Vore (2-1). Vore limited WIU to one run off five hits in relief. He struck out five and only walked one.
 
Scott Jones was great from the plate, going 2-for-4 with two RBI. His two-RBI single back up the middle of the diamond in the first opened up the scoring for the Bulldogs. Gargano was credited with an RBI in the second before a triple to left centerfield by Robbie McCargar.
 
Five different Bulldogs would get an RBI in the second game and the top two batters in the order would account for four runs helping Butler earn the sweep.
