INDIANAPOLIS – Seton Hall scored a run in the top of the ninth and loaded the bases with the game on the line, but Cole Graverson would get a groundout and the Bulldogs would defeat the Pirates 3-2 on Sunday afternoon. Graverson threw 5.2 innings in relief to get his second win of the season on the mound. The victory moves Butler to 17-26 on the year.
 
Ben Whiteside got the start for Butler and limited SHU to just one hit over 3.1 innings of action. Graverson was the only other Bulldog to touch the rubber for BU.
 
Offensively, Butler scored the first run of the game in the fourth. Joey Urban hit a double and soon after scored on a double from Jack Moroknek. That duo helped lead BU to victory as Urban hit a line-drive, two-out, solo home run for the 'Dawgs in the sixth. Moroknek led off the seventh inning with a solo shot to deep right center that made the game 3-1.
 
Seton Hall's first run came off the bat of Pat D'Amico. A single down the line in the ninth by Jonathan Luders made it a one-run game.
 
Cole Hansen was solid on the mound with nine strikeouts and no walks, but he took the loss on Sunday. SHU also used Nate Espelin for two innings.
 
Butler will return to action on Tuesday with a 4 PM first pitch vs. Saint Louis.
