The Butler University Bulldogs boosted their record to 16-17 (4-1 Big East) over the weekend after sweeping Villanova University at home.
The first two games of the weekend were held at Grand Park in Westfield, Indiana, on April 1. Butler took the first game of the twin billing 4-1. Freshman pitcher Gabbi Schnaiter earned her sixth win of the season. Schnaiter pitched all seven innings, and received a boost from sophomore catcher Sammy Andersen’s inside-the-park home run in the bottom of the sixth.
