Xavier Tops Butler in Sunday Doubleheader

INDIANAPOLIS – Butler and Xavier played two games on Sunday afternoon after a storm came through the Indianapolis area on Saturday to wash out that contest. Each game was close on Sunday, but the Musketeers would leave town with a pair of 4-1 victories to sweep BU 3-0 in the weekend series.

Xavier scored two early in game one with a two-run third inning that broke the scoreless tie. Joe Gellenbeck sent the first run home off a sac fly to deep right field and a triple from Andre Jernigan would double the lead with Daniel Rizzie scoring on the play.
