Airing on FS1, Butler baseball had a prime opportunity to earn a big time win on the road against a Big Ten opponent in Purdue on April 16.
The Bulldogs and the Boilermakers were tied heading into the bottom of the eighth, but Purdue scored two runs in the frame to put them ahead, 5-3. They would go on to win by the same score.
Designated hitter Robbie McCargar had a game to remember, with two hits while driving in two of Butler’s three RBIs on the night.
