Georgetown Falls to Butler

WASHINGTON – The Georgetown University baseball team fell to the Butler Bulldogs on Saturday evening 5-3. With the loss, the Hoyas move to 25-22 on the season and 8-8 in conference play. Butler improves to 10-36 on the season and 3-11 in conference action. Game three tomorrow has been moved to noon from its original time of 1 p.m.
 
ON THE RECORD
"Heck of a job today by Butler's pitcher Cory Bosecker. Their whole pitching staff was fantastic today and kept us off balance. I liked our fight at the end of the game there with the home run from Angelo D'Acunto it was just a little too late for us. We didn't play our best overall today and that had a lot to do with that so we have to tip our caps to them. We look forward to coming back out tomorrow with a chance to win a series." - Head Coach Edwin Thompson
