The Butler University baseball team has already been in action twice this week, facing Eastern Illinois University at Bulldog Park on April 18, and then traveling to play Indiana University on April 19.
Butler jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning against the Panthers. Redshirt senior outfielder Chris Maranto’s home run in the fifth inning made it 5-1 before the Panthers scored nine runs over the game’s last five innings to hand the Bulldogs a 10-6 defeat.
