Jacks Defeat Butler In Baseball
EVANSVILLE, IN - South Dakota State earned its first baseball victory as an NCAA Division I member Sunday, beating Butler 8-5 at Braun Stadium.
SDSU is now 1-4 for the season, and will face Southeast Missouri Monday. Butler fell to 0-3.
Three Jackrabbit pitchers held Butler to four hits and SDSU scored six runs in the final three innings after falling behind 3-1.
Tyson Bothof, in his first start for the Jacks, scattered three hits over seven innings, then Dalton Decker and Tigh Surdez each pitched an inning to finish it.
Greg Geary had three hits to lead SDSU’s 13-hit attack.
SDSU took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Geary doubled and scored on a single by Pat Farrell.
After Butler scored single runs in the second, third and fourth, the Jacks got one run back in the fifth when Nick Adams singled, went to second when Kyle Sytsma walked, and scored on a single by Chris Iverson.
The Jacks took the lead with a pair of runs in the sixth. Sytsma walked, Iverson reached on a fielder’s choice when Sytsma was safe on a error, and the runs scored on an infield groundout by Tim Hanigan and a sacrifice fly by Tony Lane.
SDSU then added three runs in the eighth, two scoring on a single by Geary and the other on a single by Iverson.
An RBI single by Adams in the ninth drove in SDSU’s final run.
Hanigan, Farrell, Iverson and Adams had two hits each.
