St. John’s earns first Big East home win

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.
