INDIANAPOLIS – Two costly Bulldog errors in the top of the 10th inning helped Mercer defeat Butler on Saturday afternoon by the final score of 5-4. The game broke loose in the sixth inning and would eventually come back together with a tied score after eight full. In the end, Mercer picked up the win after a game-winning RBI single from Hunter Bening in the extra frame.
The two teams went scoreless through the first five innings of action all the while batting cold temperatures and gusting winds near 20 MPH. Mercer scored first with three in the top of the sixth, but BU would counter with two in the bottom half.
