SOUTH BEND – The Butler baseball team took an 11-2 loss at Frank Eck Stadium on Wednesday night to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Jack Moroknek hit a two-run home run for BU in the top of the sixth inning. Moroknek and Joey Urban were responsible for four of Butler's six hits in the contest.
 
ND homered in the first and would own a 4-0 advantage before Moroknek's eighth home run of the season. Any thought of a BU comeback would be eliminated in the bottom half of the sixth frame as Notre Dame scored five runs to make the game 9-2.
 
Butler used 11 pitchers Wednesday night with no Bulldog throwing more than one inning. Ben Whiteside, Gage Vota, and Shane Kilfoyle all faced six batters. Whiteside got the start and was hit with the loss (1-2). The win went to Sammy Cooper.
 
Butler will host the Georgetown Hoyas this weekend at Bulldog Park. The first home weekend series against a BIG EAST foe will feature single games on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Start times are listed at 3 PM, 2 PM and 12 PM.
