Butler captured the BIG EAST title and the first NCAA Tournament berth in program history with a thrilling 10-8 victory over St. John's in eight innings in the championship game of the BIG EAST Tournament at the Ballpark at Rosemont.
Butler will learn its NCAA Tournament destination Sunday night with the Selection Show airing at 10 p.m. on ESPNU.
For the second day in a row, Butler's win would be of the come-from-behind variety as St. John's took a 6-0 lead after two innings. The Bulldogs began the comeback in the top of the fifth inning as freshman Cheyenne Thompson sent a drive over the center field wall for a two-run homer.
