Saturday's Come-From-Behind Win Earns Butler the Series Split with Indiana


Butler picked up an 8-5 decision in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader at Indiana, splitting the pair of games on the day and earning a split in the four-game series with the Hoosiers.
 
The Bulldogs' wins served as the bookends of the series as Butler took a win in Thursday's game in Indianapolis and the final game of the day Saturday in Bloomington.
 
After the weekend, Butler stands at 12-14 on the season, while Indiana is 15-14.
 
On Saturday afternoon, Butler overcame a 4-1 deficit through four innings and broke a 5-5 tie with three runs in the top of the ninth. Those three runs in the deciding ninth came on a three-run shot from Kade Lewis over the right field wall.
 
Joey Urban went 4-for-4 at the plate for Butler in the contest, which included a solo home run in the third inning, his third blast of the season. Lewis had five RBI on a 2-for-5 performance.
 
Six pitchers shared the mound for Butler; Cole Graverson went the final 1.2 innings to earn the win. Indiana's Brayden Risedorph allowed the three Butler runs in the ninth to suffer the loss.
 
Indiana took the first game of the doubleheader Saturday, posting a 22-3 win in seven innings. The Hoosiers hit five home runs. Nick Mitchell went 3-for-4 with one of those long balls and six RBI. Andrew Wiggins had hits in all four of his at-bats, knocking in three runs, while Jasen Oliver also had four RBI.
 
Lewis provided most of the Bulldogs' offense with a second-inning two-run home run.
 
Connor Foley went 5.2 innings and got the win for Indiana; Grant Brooks took the loss on the mound for Butler.
 
The Bulldogs are back in action Tuesday, hosting Eastern Illinois for a 4 p.m. first pitch at Bulldog Park. That serves as the final warm-up for Butler's BIG EAST play as a weekend series at Creighton looms.
