A Perfect Conference Run
The St. John's baseball team capped the regular season with a 4-1 triumph over Butler, a victory that not only secured the series win but also completed a flawless sweep of all seven BIG EAST matchups for the first time since 2018.
Offensively, the Red Storm leaned on a disciplined approach at the plate. Adam Agresti and Jon LeGrande each went 2-for-4, driving in runs that helped stake the team to an early lead, while Rob Mansour extended his on-base streak to 29 games with a 3-for-4 performance.
The pitching staff was equally dominant, combining for eight scoreless innings and 10 strikeouts. Ian Mowad delivered 3.2 shutout frames with two strikeouts, while Tommy Conley earned his first conference win by blanking Butler over three innings with three strikeouts. Evan Hoeckele closed out the game with his sixth save of the season, allowing just one run over the final two innings.
The win propels St. John's into the BIG EAST Tournament, where they will meet either Xavier or Creighton. The tournament will be streamed live on ESPN+, giving fans nationwide access to the Red Storm's continued push for a championship.
