The Eels are 3-139 at stumps at Allansford's Uebergang Oval with Butters unbeaten on 86.
The ladder-leader was in trouble early at 2-24 before the captain came to the crease.
Batting was a tougher task for Brierly-Christ Church in its semi-final against Russells Creek at Jones Oval.
The reigning premier was in strife at 7-16 before Campbell Love (32 for 140 balls) and Lachi Rooke (19 from 64) added some respectability to the scoreboard.
The Bulls were all out for 81 with Creek 0-4 in reply.
Both matches were rain-affected and started late.
Play will resume at 12.30pm on Sunday.
