Softball split its doubleheader against Butler this weekend at St. John’s. Both games were scheduled for Saturday, but rain held them off until Sunday.
Game one started on Saturday with a scoreless first inning, but the Johnnies scored two runs in the second inning to take the lead early. St. John’s led off the inning with a walk by Krystal Puga before freshman Christina Melendez hit a home run – her third of the season – off the first pitch she saw.
Butler tied the game with a two-run single in the third inning. The rain remained constant so the day ended with an even score.
