[80RU]

3-2 win on a walk off single in the bottom of the 9th by Tim Dezzi, who had three of the teams six hits. Pitching was good – – one earned run and only two walks allowed. Butler had scored 27 runs in their season opening series.

 

[Abro1975]

Trailing going into the bottom of 9th, RU rallies for the win !

In rally , Nyzitor led off w a single, Welsh walked, Brito walked, and Dezzi knocks in the tying and winning runs !

DH Dezzi goes 3-5. Rutkowski goes 7 strong innings, and Brito picks up the win pitching the top 9th.

Butler is a solid Big East program. Good on Rutkowski to settle down after giving up some runs early. Obviously, SB is back in the pen with Murray going tomorrow.

I don’t really even know if you can say he had to “settle down.” He only allowed one earned run and never walked a single batter.

Nice win today.
We beat a college today I’ve never heard of but
any win is good

Everyone in the starting lineup had a hit.

I don’t really even know if you can say he had to “settle down.” He only allowed one earned run and never walked a single batter.

I'm just stating he was composed despite allowing a few runs in the first. Sometimes, those sort of things can spiral out of control quickly.
