WEST LAFAYETTE – Joey Urban and Scott Jones homered at Alexander Field on Wednesday night, but it wouldn't be enough as the Purdue Boilermakers came up with a 16-9 win to even their season record at 18-18. With the setback, Butler moves to 7-29.
 
Urban hit a two-run home run for Butler in the top of the first inning to give BU a quick lead, but the Boilers would punch back with four runs in the first and seven more in the third to take a 11-4 advantage.
 
BU plated three more runs in the fifth on a Scott Jones home run and Jake DeFries would come up with a two-RBI single through the left side of the infield in the eighth to take us to the final score of 16-9.
 
Jones had a multi-hit game for the Bulldogs along with Kollyn All and Xavier Carter. Paul Toetz and Couper Cornblum led the charge for PU combining for five hits, seven RBI and three runs.
 
Luke Zmolik was hit with the loss on the mound while Carter Doorn took the win. Doorn allowed seven earned runs over five full innings and struck out three. The Bulldogs walked 11 batters on Wednesday night. Lukas Galdoni threw the eighth and recorded two of the team's three strikeouts.
 
Butler will move past the midweek matchup and shift their focus to the weekend. The Bulldogs will face the Seton Hall Pirates in South Orange N.J. this weekend. Game one is set for Friday at 4 PM.
