Indiana Posts 13-2 Win over Butler

The Indiana Hoosiers scored eight runs over the first three innings to build a lead over Butler and would move forward to defeat the Bulldogs 13-2 on Tuesday night. Ty Bothwell was credited with the win for the Hoosiers and Grant Brooks (0-1) was hit with the loss.

 

Indiana scored 13 runs off 13 hits and the IU arms limited Butler to just two runs off five hits. Butler got on the scoreboard in the top of the third inning. Ian Choi walked and moved to second on a wild pitch. Carter Dorighi doubled to score Choi.

 

The second BU run came around in the sixth. Scott Jones hit a one-out single to right and advanced to third on a base knock from Xavier Carter. Kyle Van Liere followed in the lineup and would earn an RBI on a fielder's choice.

 

Indiana took control early by recording five-straight hits in the first inning. Four of the five hits were doubles allowing IU to score four in the first. Four more Hoosier runs came in the bottom of the third and the home team would add single runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth before finishing with two in the eighth.

 

It was a bullpen day for each staff. IU used nine different arms and the Bulldogs went through eight.

 

The Bulldogs return to action with a Friday doubleheader in Baton Rouge, La. They will face Central Connecticut State at 1 PM and then face #1 LSU at 6:30 that night.
