NEW YORK - Butler's Brock Buckley was named the BIG EAST Pitcher of the Week and Gavin Gilmore earned a spot on the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll as announced by the league office in New York on Monday.
​
In a 3-0 week for Butler, Buckley dominated on the mound for the Dawgs. The senior tossed one inning of relief on Friday against Villanova and earned the save allowing no hits and no runs. In his Saturday start against the Wildcats, Buckley tossed seven innings, allowing only one hit and no runs in the Bulldogs' BIG EAST opening series. Buckley grabbed seven strikeouts in the 10-1 victory on Saturday, and this is the second honor of the season for the senior after earning a spot on the honor roll last week.
​
Gilmore was spectacular for Butler in the weekend sweep over Villanova. Gilmore batted .500 with a 1.214 slugging percentage as the junior tallied seven hits, four runs scored, a double, three home runs, eight RBIs and a walk.
​
Butler will be back in action tomorrow as the Bulldogs host Southern Indiana at Bulldog Park. First pitch is scheduled for 3 p.m. and a link to live stats can be found on Butlersports.com.
