VILLANOVA – Joey Urban went 5-for-6 from the plate with three RBIs in Butler's 9-6 win at Villanova on Sunday. The Bulldogs recorded their 20th win of the year and would take the weekend series over the Wildcats with the victory.
 
BU scored two in the second, two in the third and two in the fourth to build a 7-2 lead, but the Wildcats would close the deficit to 7-6 in the bottom of the fifth.
 
Butler added an insurance run in the seventh and Urban's final RBI on the contest took us to the final score of 9-6.
 
The first six hitters in the BU lineup had a hit and four of the six had an RBI. Dorighi, Urban and Parks all had doubles in the victory and Tommy Townsend put a ball in the gap for a triple. Butler's pitching was on point with Ben Whiteside getting the win and Brett Sherrard picking up the save. Whiteside had four strikeouts and Gage Vota was awesome in relief with a team-high five strikeouts.
 
Camp took the loss for Nova. He was one of eight Villanova arms to touch the rubber on Sunday.
 
The final four games of the regular season are on the horizon for the Bulldogs. Notre Dame will pay a visit to Bulldog Park on Tuesday, May 14. The final BIG EAST series will put the 'Dawgs up against UConn. That series will begin on Thursday at 3 PM. The Friday matchup will also start at 3. Senior Day will land on Sunday at 1 PM.
