The Hall took the first of three games on Thursday against Butler, by an 8-2 run differential. With the victory, the Pirates improved to 36-18 overall and 8-8 in Big East play. This three game away-series against Butler marks the final games of the Pirates’ season unless a postseason berth is issued.
Although the Pirates trailed 1-0 early due to two errors in the first inning, they retaliated in the top of the second with a run of their own to tie the game. From there on out, the Hall controlled the game with a combination of strong pitching and offense.
