@ButlerUBaseball Wins Home Opener 5-2

INDIANAPOLISKollyn All hit a two-out, two-run home run in the bottom of the seventh inning to lead Butler to a 5-2 victory over Manchester on Wednesday afternoon. The Bulldogs improved to 4-4 on the young season by defeating the Spartans on a sunny day at Bulldog Park.
 
All sent a deep fly ball over the wall in left centerfield to extend the Bulldog lead to 5-2. The scoring opened up for Butler in the bottom of the first inning with an RBI groundout from Aaron Steinhart. Additional BU runs would cross home plate in the fourth on a double from Scott Jones and a single to left from Billy Wurch.
 
The Spartans scored on a sac fly in the second inning and would push an unearned run across the dish in the fifth.
 
The win went to Cole Graverson (1-0) while the loss was handed to Brett Wathen (0-1). Holden Groher was also credited with his first save of the season.
 
Butler will return to action this weekend with a three-game series at Jacksonville.
