Another Day. Another Win. 21-3.

WEST CARROLLTON — The Butler Aviators swept the West Carrollton Pirates Monday evening by a combined score of 39-3. There isn't much more to say about that, other than it was swift and decisive.

Monday's 21-3 road win was the kind of game where the only real question by the second inning was how high the number was going to go. Seven stolen bases. Eleven walks. Thirteen hits. A first inning where the Pirate's starter allowed four runs before recording an out. A second inning where Butler sent up thirteen more and scored nine more. By the time Koby Dues put a home run to center field in the fourth to make it 21-2, it was almost beside the point — and yet somehow still the perfect punctuation mark on an afternoon that was never in doubt.

Dues was everywhere Monday. Three hits, a home run, three RBI, three runs scored, and two stolen bases — the kind of line that would lead most game stories but barely scratches the surface of what the Aviators did collectively.

Jack Egbert went 2-for-2 with a triple and five RBI. Tate Richardson doubled twice and drove in three. Jackson Schilling doubled and scored twice. Jayden Rivas doubled and drove in three. Paxton Dwenger walked, scored three times, and drove one in. Aidan White reached base four times without a hit. Eleven walks as a team. Seven stolen bases. Butler was running on West Carrollton from the first pitch and never once let up.

The second inning deserves its own moment. Nine runs on five hits, starting with Richardson doubling in two, Davis Ketterer singling in one, Dues singling in one, Dwenger walking to force one home, Egbert tripling in three, and Richardson coming back around to double in one more.

That's nine different players touching the ball, nine different ways of hurting you, against a team that was simply overmatched on this particular Monday afternoon.

Four Butler pitchers combined to allow three runs on four hits over five innings, with Carson Heis closing it cleanly — no hits, no runs, two strikeouts on thirteen pitches.

11-1, 6-1. Wednesday is at Fairborn.

The work continues.
