Butler was able to keep the potent Providence Catholic (2-0) offense off balance until the fourth inning. Down 1-0, in the top of the fourth, the middle of the Celtics order got things going.  Jackson Dvorac and Brendan O’Hara each hit RBI doubles which led to 3 runs in that half. From there, the Celtics offense never looked back, scoring 10 more runs in the sixth inning.

Dvorac went 2-for-3, 2B, 3 runs, RBI; Matt Waznis went 1-for-3, 3-run HR, 2 runs; Jim Jeffries hit a grand slam and RHP Connor Creed came out of the bullpen, 3 inn, 3 hits, 0 ER and 2 K’s to lead Providence Catholic.
