OXFORD – Butler picked up a road win at Miami Ohio on Tuesday afternoon by defeating the Redhawks 13-10 at McKie Field. Ian Choi jumpstarted the offense with a grand slam in the first inning to give BU a 7-0 lead and Xavier Carter would play a large role in the outcome with three RBIs.
 
The Carter and Choi duo did damage early in this one to help Butler improve to 8-9 on the year. Carter hit a two-RBI single through the right side of the infield to make the game 3-0 and Choi's grand slam gave Butler momentum on the road.
 
Miami clapped back by scoring seven runs over the first three innings to get back in the game. MacDonald highlighted the scoring with a three-run home run in the second. The Bulldogs were able to scratch two across in the third as well to keep a 9-7 lead going into the fourth.
 
BU expanded their lead after a Carter RBI single in the fourth. Carter Dorighi would also grab an RBI in the frame drawing a bases loaded walk to score Billy Wurch.
 
BU scored an unearned run in the fifth and Wurch would record his second RBI of the day in the seventh.
 
The midweek win would go to starter Gage Vota, his first of the season. Christian Finnigan, Colin Dailey, Brett Sherrard and Cole Graverson also touched the rubber for BU. That crew recorded nine strikeouts. Graverson cruised late not allowing a hit over the final two frames.
