Xavier beat Butler in their 2023 BE opener 8-3 earlier today. Win streak now at 8 and counting.
First place in BE and STREEEEEEEAK!
Nine straight 4-2 over bulldogs
Starting pitching has been really great of late. Planning on heading to Hayden later this afternoon to catch the finale.
We will blame you if the streak ends. Just want you to know. LOLQuote:

Clearly, you were not the issue as the X men complete the sweep
You obviously didn't see the start of the game where Butler jumped out in front 3-0 before the wind starting blowing out to right field and homers were coming left and right from both teams. 6-run 5th was the difference.
Also guessing this is the first year of the pitch clock for the NCAA; don't remember seeing it during the BE Tournament at Prasco last year.
Only difference from MLB rules is that the pitch clock is at :20 regardless of whether or not there are baserunners.
Also turned out to be a weekend where Xavier now has early possession of 1st place all to themselves. UConn won 2 of 3 at St. John's, Seton Hall beat Georgetown 2 out of 3 and Villanova even managed a win at Creighton.
Next weekend is huge with UConn coming to town. Winning that series would give Xavier at a minimum a 2-game lead and a potential tiebreaker.
