Butler’s baseball team earned a much-needed section victory Wednesday afternoon.

The Golden Tornado plated six runs in the top of the second inning and never trailed in a 9-7 Section 1-6A triumph over Central Catholic at La Roche College.

It was the first section win of the season for Butler (6-4, 1-3).

Dallas Hays went 3-for-4 at the plate with two runs scored and two batted in. Connor Ollio added a single, double and collected three RBI.

Cade Negley was credited with the win on the mound, striking out seven and walking four in 4 2/3 innings.

The Tornado will face Seneca Valley, which also earned its first section victory of the year Wednesday, at Kelly Automotive Park Friday night.
