Eastern Illinois Tops Butler 14-8

The Butler Baseball team moved to 10-18 on the season after falling to Eastern Illinois 14-8 on Tuesday afternoon. The Panthers offense was the story of the game as they scored 14 runs on 14 hits. Their offense pounced on the Dawgs early, scoring six runs in the first two innings. They matched Butlers two runs in the first and scored four more in the 2nd.  

For the Bulldog offense, in the first Harry Carr delivered a two-run double down the left field line scoring Danny Barbero and Jack Moroknek.

The offense then went scoreless until the 7th, where the Dawgs plated four runs. Moroknek picked up an RBI double that scored AJ Solomon.

Later in the inning, Jack Bello punched a single the other way scoring Moroknek and Ryan Drumm on the play. Bello then came around to score on a fielder's choice. The Bulldogs were able to tack on two more in the 9th bringing the final to 14-8. 

On the other side of the ball, the Butler pitching staff used eight arms. Justin Hornschemeier, Espn Simpson, and Brett Sherrard all tossed a scoreless inning. For the Panthers offense, they were able to capitalize on two bulldog errors, pushing across nine unearned runs. 

The Dawgs will be back in action this weekend. They will travel to Xavier for their first conference series of the season.
