The Seton Hall baseball team defeated Butler on Friday, 6-1, in the first game of a three-game series in Indianapolis, Ind., powered by a high-scoring second inning and dominant pitching.
Butler scored its only run at Bulldog Park in the first inning, with Gehrig Parker coming home from third base on an RBI-single from Connor Christman. The run gave Butler its only taste of the lead all game.
On the mound, Seton Hall’s Shane McCarthy, who improved to 3-3 with the win, kept his cool and got the Pirates out of the inning, affording them the chance to battle back in the second.
