PDF Box Score

OMAHA, NEB. — Butler kicked off the BIG EAST play with a 5-1 victory over Creighton in the first of a three-game series this weekend.

Kade Lewis opened up the scoring in the fourth inning with a two-run home run to earn his team-high ninth home run of the season.

The Bulldogs added three more runs to their lead in the fifth inning. With runners on second and third, Carter Dorighi swung at the first pitch he saw and singled up the middle to drive in two more runs.

After a fielding error by the Blue Jays helped Dorighi advance to second base, Jack Moronek singled to center field to bring the runner in to score, giving Butler a 5-0 lead.  

Creighton ended the shutout in the sixth inning after Blue Jays hitter Teddy Deters drove in a run with a double.

Butler's bullpen would then settle in after Cole Graverson stepped on the mound and closed out the last seven outs to win the game.

Tyler Banks picked up the win after pitching five scoreless innings while tallying three strikeouts and only three hits. Andrew Crumbley allowed the only run but added in three K's during his outing. Graverson collected three strikeouts over seven outs.
The Bulldogs will kick off the second game of a three-game series with the first pitch slated for Saturday at 2 p.m.
