INDIANAPOLIS – The UConn Huskies recorded a 12-2 win over Butler by scoring at least one run in each of the first six innings of the contest on Friday afternoon. The victory keeps the Huskies in sole possession of first place in the conference standings and gives UConn the regular season BIG EAST title outright. The setback moves BU to 20-34 overall.
 
Stephen Quigley guided UConn to victory on Friday by throwing seven of the nine innings for the Huskies. He struck out seven and only walked one to collect his fifth win of the season. The only other arm needed for the visitors was Kieran Finnegan. The lefty tossed the final two frames, striking out three.
 
For Butler, Nate Rosser got the start and was hit with the loss. Colin Dailey, Nick Miketinac and Aidan Hatcher were also involved on the mound. That group collectively struck out five and walked five.
 
UConn's lineup got a lift from Paul Tammaro in today's contest. The shortstop went 4-for-5 from the plate with three RBIs and two runs scored. Maddix Dalena hit a monster home run for UConn over the scoreboard in right field and extra base hits would also go to T.C. Simmons, Drew Kron, and Caleb Shpur.
 
Butler broke onto the scoreboard in the bottom of the third inning after a Joey Urban single to left-center scored Evan Parks. Butler's second run came courtesy of Xavier Carter. His home run to right moved his season total to 3 and gave the Bulldogs 61 as a team.
