We are back with episode #38 of our On The Banks podcast as host Lance Glinn speaks with Rutgers softball head coach Kristen Butler. It’s been an exciting turnaround this season in her first year. The Scarlet Knights have already clinched the program’s first Big Ten Tournament berth since 2016.
On Wednesday, the Scarlet Knights won its second consecutive game via an extra innings walk-off home run by freshman catcher Katie Wingert, defeating LIU-Brooklyn (29-16) by 7-5 in 9 innnings. With the victory, they clinched the program’s first winning season since 2015.
Rutgers is now 26-22 this season with a 9-11 record in Big Ten play.
