PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Providence College softball team completed its second BIG EAST series sweep of the season on Sunday, April 28 on senior day at Glay Field. The Friars defeated the Bulldogs, 4-0, courtesy of home runs from seniors Alison Abbatiello (North Salem, N.Y.) and Vanessa Portillo (Chatsworth, Calif.). Providence improved to 28-19 on the season with a 9-8 BIG EAST record.
GAME HIGHLIGHTS:
- Providence built a 3-0 cushion in the bottom of the third inning and led wire-to-wire to pick up the 4-0 victory over Butler.
- Abbatiello hit her first career home run in the bottom of the second inning to give the Friars a 3-0 lead. The seniors manufactured the lead on senior day as Hadley Tate (Yarmouthport, Mass.) reached base on a single with Annie Flego (Little Silver, N.J.) coming in to pinch run, followed by Jackie Martin (Bridgeton, N.J.) earning a walk. Abbatiello then came to the plate and hit towering shot over the left field fence.
- Portillo added an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth inning with her team-high fifth home run of the season to left center field, to give the Friars a 4-0 lead.
- Daniela Alvarez (Santa Ana, Calif.) held a no-hitter into the top of the seventh inning before giving up Butler's lone hit. She pitched her 13th complete game of the season and sixth shutout.
