There's no place like home for Butler, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Monday. They never let the Miami Eagles get on the board and left with a 15-0 victory on Tuesday. Considering the Bears have won four contests by more than nine runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Kylee Dubray was a major factor no matter where she played. She struck out six batters over two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in three consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 1-for-3. She also put up an RBI, which was her first of the season.

In other batting news, Butler got a massive performance out of Kadyn Cook, who got on base in all three of her plate appearances with four RBI, two runs, and one triple. Those RBI were Cook's first of the season. Another player making a difference was Taylor Hudson, who scored two runs and stole two bases while going 1-for-2.

Butler always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .696. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

Butler's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 5-4. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.7 runs on average over those games. As for Miami, their defeat dropped their record down to 0-2.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Butler will welcome El Dorado Springs at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Bears' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Bulldogs have averaged an impressive 9.6 runs per game this season. As for Miami, they will take on Midway at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
