Miami Ohio Claims 6-4 Win at Bulldog Park - Butler University Athletics (2024)

INDIANAPOLIS – The Miami Redhawks scored two late runs on Wednesday night to earn a 6-4 victory over Butler at Bulldog Park. The two evenly matched teams met for the second time this season with the road team winning each contest.

Miami scored two in the top of the first, but the Bulldogs countered with two of their own in the bottom of the second. BU added a third run in the third inning to take a lead and the two teams would each be responsible for a solo run in the fifth.

Miami tied the game in the top of the sixth, took the lead in the top of the eighth and added an insurance run in the top of the ninth. Eight Miami hits generated the teams six runs. Novak and Buzzeo each had two hits while Baker and Batusich scored two runs each.

For Butler, Carter Dorighi went 2-for-5 with two RBIs and a double. Evan Parks went 2-for-4 at the plate with a triple and an RBI. Joey Urban added a home run to his stat line and Billy Wurch chipped in with a multi-hit performance.

Byers got the win for the Redhawks (4-1). He came up with the final eight outs, striking out four and limiting BU to just one hit.

On the other side of the scorebook, Andrew Crumbley was hit with the loss (1-2). Control issues hurt Crumbley's outing as he walked three of the five batters he faced. Butler went with a bullpen day with Crumbley being one of nine Bulldogs to touch the rubber.

Butler is back in action this weekend with a three-game road series at St. John's.
