BATON ROUGE – The Butler Bulldogs moved to 2-10 on the season after taking an 11-0 loss to #1 LSU on Monday night. Action ended after seven innings with the Tigers on top at home. LSU recorded 14 hits and limited the 'Dawgs to just three.
 
UCLA transfer Thatcher Hurd threw six of the seven innings Monday night vs. Butler. He struck out 11 Bulldogs over six frames and only issued one walk. All three hits came against Thatcher as Blake Money came in from the pen to strikeout two of the three batters he faced in the seventh.
 
LSU jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead after home runs from Crews and Neal. A six-run second inning gave Thatcher plenty of run support and the top team in the country would add solo runs in the fourth and fifth before scoring two more in the sixth to earn their 11th win of the season.
 
Crews ended the game 2-for-5 with a team-best three RBI. Tre' Morgan, Paxton Kling and Cade Beloso also had multi-hit games for the Tigers.
 
Butler hits went to Carter Dorighi and Joey Urban at the top of the order. Dorighi broke up the no hitter in the top of the fourth inning. Kollyn All also had a hit to lead off the fifth.
 
Butler sent five Bulldogs to the mound on Monday night. Aaron Barokas took the loss after just one inning. LSU tagged Barokas with five earned runs off six hits. Dawson Taylor and Lukas Galdoni each tossed two innings in relief. Cade Thune and Shane Kilfoyle would come together for the final three outs.
 
BU returns to action on Wednesday afternoon for a 4 PM game at Mississippi Valley State. The Delta Devils currently lead the NCAA in stolen bases.
