The Butler softball team lost 11-2 at Ball State (24-11) yesterday.

Junior infielder Krista Hakola went 2-for-2 at the plate and drove in a run for the Bulldogs.

Butler split a two-game series against Atlantic 10 foe George Washington last weekend.

In the first game, the two teams were deadlocked until the seventh inning when senior Devin Brierly came in to pinch run for a walked batter. She was eventually able to score on a sacrifice fly by junior Callie Dennison.

Senior Jenny Esparza and freshman Kristin Gutierrez combined to pitch a no-hitter for the 1-0 win.

The Colonials (12-17) won the second game 4-1.

The team has a non-conference double-header against Morehead State today at 3 p.m.
