The Bulldogs moved to 9-17 on the year after recording a pair of wins over Northern Illinois on Saturday. Nate Rosser pitched a complete game in the seven-inning opener leading Butler to a 9-6 win and a Jack Bello walk-off  in game two broke an 8-8 tie to give BU the lead in the weekend series.
 
Rosser was fantastic in game one throwing 116 pitches over seven innings. He struck out four and didn't issue a walk. Butler scored at least one run in each inning to earn the 9-6 win. Jack Moroknek went 2-for-4 from the dish with a team-best three RBI's. Tommy Townsend homered to end the game with two RBIs and Danny Barbero doubled to match him with two RBI's.
 
Game two was intense with the two teams deadlocked at 8-8 in the ninth inning. NIU would pitch around Moroknek in the ninth which put Jack Bello in the batter's box. Bello belted a ball to the fence in left allowing Moroknek to come all the way around and score from first.
 
Moroknek hit a 446-foot home run in the contest and would lead the offensive charge with three RBI's. AJ Solomon was solid as well with a 2-for-4 day and two RBI.
 
Marcus Goodpaster did a great job on the mound, tossing 6.1 innings. He struck out eight and only walked one. Tate Foxson came in late and earned the win.
 
The two teams will return to Bulldog Park tomorrow for a single game. First pitch has been moved up to noon.
