WASHINGTON, D.C. – Butler scored 11 runs in the top of the fifth inning to cruise to a 20-7 victory over Georgetown on Sunday afternoon. The win allowed BU to win the weekend series and take some momentum into the final two weeks of the regular season.
 
Six Bulldogs had a multi-hit game against Georgetown and all six of those student-athletes had multiple RBI's in the outcome. Joey Urban was 4-for-6 as the leadoff man with three RBI and a run scored. Ryan O'Halloran homered in the seventh to end the game 2-for-4 from the dish with a team-best four RBI.
 
Every Bulldog in the lineup scored at least one run. Scott Jones led the way in that category with four. Xavier Carter, Garret Gray and O'Halloran all scored three times on Sunday.
 
Gray, Jake DeFries and Urban all generated runs early with extra base hits in the second inning. Kollyn All also doubled in the sixth to score a pair.
 
The game was tied at 4-4 after the third inning, but DeFries would push BU back on top with a two-RBI single to center in the fourth. The fifth inning was the difference maker as BU scored 11 runs off six hits to go up 17-4.
 
The win went to Ben Whiteside and the loss fell to Jordan Yoder. The Bulldogs started Lukas Galdoni and also sent Cade Thune and Jon Vore to the hill in relief. As a unit, BU struck out eight and only walked three.
 
The Bulldogs will play at Northern Kentucky and Dayton during the week and resume with conference competition over the weekend at UConn. The final home series of the 2023 campaign will follow against St. John's from May 18-20.
