It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Butler had no problem doing just that on Friday. Everything went their way against the La Salle Lancers as they made off with an 8-1 victory. The Aviators might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 18 games by six runs or more this season.

The win was the third in a row for Butler, bringing their record up to 24-5. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for La Salle, they moved to 16-12 with that defeat, which also ended their four-game winning streak.

Coming up, Butler will face off against Kenton Ridge at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Aviators 2.7, the Cougars 3) so any runs scored will be well earned. La Salle does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
