TEMPE, Ariz. - Boston College was one-hit by eighth-ranked Arizona State as the Sun Devils went on to defeat BC, 9-0, in five innings on Friday. The game was the first of a three-game series between the two teams and the Eagles' first in a nine-game Spring Break trip out West.
ASU's Erica Beach carried a perfect game into the fifth inning until Cara Blumfield laced a shot past the second baseman for the Eagles' only hit of the night.
The Sun Devils posted three runs in the first inning, then added two more in the second and four in the fourth as they went onto their 17th win of the season.
Beach finished the game with six strikeouts and allowed only one hit. Tekae Malandris suffered the loss after surrendering nine hits and five earned runs. She also struck out three Sun Devils in four innings of work.
With the loss, the Eagles fell to 3-8 on the season and snapped their two-game winning streak.
The two teams will meet again on Saturday in a 7 p.m. MT game (9 p.m. EST) and for the final time on Sunday at 1 p.m. MT (3 p.m. EST).
