After a combined 27 hits, 25 runners left on base and 10 pitchers, Ryan Uhl ended it.

The Butler BlueSox first baseman drilled a two-out single deep into the right-center field gap, scoring Nick Sell from third in the 11th inning Friday at Kelly Automotive Park. The hit gave Butler a 7-6 victory over Prospect League first half West Division champion Danville.

“This is the most resilient team I’ve had since I’ve been here,” BlueSox manager Anthony Rebyanski said. “They show up every night ready to play and they stay at it.

“Danville had great pitching, great hitting, they play good defense ... We beat a heckuva team over there.”

The win gave the BlueSox a 4-0 start to the second half of the season. Danville slipped to 0-5 in the second half.

“Teams are gunning for us now and we better get used to it,” Danville manager Eric Coleman said. “This is the second straight one-run game we lost in extra innings.

“They got the big hit. We didn’t.”

It appeared that they did.

Gabe Acevedo led off the top of the 10th with a towering home run to right-center — his first of the season — to hand the Dans a 6-5 lead. The blast was only Danville’s sixth home run as a team.

But it didn’t stand up.

With one out in the BlueSox 10th, Stephen Sada singled to center. Butler graduate Mick Fennell doubled deep into the right field corner. As Sada scored from first to tie the game, Fennell was thrown out trying to stretch the hit into a triple.

Fennell had two hits and two walks in six plate appearances Friday, raising his batting average to .255. He left the bases loaded in the second and fifth innings — the only two times he failed to reach base — as Butler stranded 10 runners in the first five frames.

Butler stranded 13 runners on the day to Danville’s 12.

“Mick was struggling for us early in the year (hitting below .200), but his bat has caught fire of late,” Rebyanski said.

Alex Martin, the BlueSox’ fifth pitcher, retired Danville in order in the 11th. Cam Wysocki, Danville’s fifth hurler, didn’t have the same good fortune.

Sell singled with one out in the bottom of the 11th, stole second and moved to third on an errant throw by the catcher. Wysocki struck out Zac LaNeve before Uhl delivered the big blow.

“They had been throwing me curve balls all day,” Uhl said. “I was waiting for another one and I got it.”

Uhl entered the game hitting .245 with six RBI all season.

“We’re the only team in the league without a home run and we keep waiting for it to happen,” Rebyanski said. “Ryan’s got power to all fields and he’s capable of getting one over the wall.

“He hit this one plenty far enough.”

Trailing 4-3, the BlueSox came up with stellar defensive plays to keep it a one-run game in the seventh and eighth innings. With the bases loaded and one out in the seventh, Danville’s Cody Gardner grounded into a third-to-home-to-first double play.

Dylan Alexander led off the Danville eighth with a double, but right fielder Fennell’s strong relay to shortstop Matt Peters resulted in Alexander being thrown out trying to get a triple.

“They did a nice job playing catch,” Coleman said. “We committed four errors and they were costly. You can’t win a championship the way we played defense tonight.”

Two Danville errors helped the BlueSox score three runs in the third. A throwing error aided a Butler run in the fourth.

The BlueSox tied the game in the eighth without getting a hit. No. 9 hitter Taylor Schmidt walked, stole second, moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on another.

“Good, gritty win,” Uhl said. “I think we’ll get a few more like this.”

Butler graduate Cody Herald had two singles and a walk in four plate appearances before leaving the game with a jammed finger in the seventh.
