The Butler baseball team moved to 6-16 on the year after taking a 12-2 loss at Saint Louis on Tuesday night. SLU arms limited BU to just one hit and a seven-run bottom of the fifth inning would push the Billikens to the win column.
Â
Butler's only hit of the game was a two-RBI single to left field from
Ryan Drumm that scored
Tommy Townsend and
Harry Carr.
Â
That hit gave BU a 2-1 advantage in the fourth, but Saint Louis would match BU with two runs of their own in the bottom of four before blowing up for seven in the fifth.
Â
Lead-off man Ian Blazier went 3-for-4 in the contest for Saint Louis with four RBIs and two runs scored.
Â
The win on the mound went to Kelsey Carter (1-0) while the loss landed on BU starter
Colin Dailey. As a team, BU walked 12 batters and didn't come up with a strikeout.
Â
A quick turn around will send Butler to Miami Ohio tomorrow. First pitch is set for 3 p.m.
