The Butler softball team moved to 14-22 with a 3-2 win over in-state foe Fort Wayne on April 11. After defeating Evansville and IUPUI in previous weeks, it was the third win in the Bulldogs’ last four midweek games.
They overcame struggles at the plate to manufacture what eventually were a pair of winning runs in the fifth inning.
“We definitely came out slow in the first couple of innings with our hitting but all we needed was to tie a couple runs together to as the game went on,” freshman infielder and pitcher Karli Ricketts said.
