FORT WAYNE – IPFW scored a run in the bottom of the ninth inning to defeat Butler on Wednesday afternoon. The victory evened the regular season series at 1-1 with each team winning on their home field.
The difference in today's outcome came in crunch time with IPFW pushing the game-winning run across in the ninth. Butler hit a snag right after a pitching change as Shannon Baker reached on a fielding error. Baker quickly moved to second base after a sacrifice bunt and two batters later Brandon Soat would end the game with a base hit to left.
