Frei and Dreswick Strikeout 16 as Eagles Split Day One vs. No. 13 FSU
April 13, 2018 | Softball
The win against the Seminoles in game one was the first victory vs. FSU since 2008
BRIGHTON, Mass. – The Boston College softball team defeated No. 13/9 Florida State, 1-0, in game one of the day behind a complete-game, eight-strikeout performance by redshirt junior Allyson Frei. The Eagles fell in game two, 5-4, despite out-hitting the Seminoles, 12-3, ending their historic winning streak at 13 games.
The Eagles scored the only run of game one when junior Lexi DiEmmanuele hit a fly ball that was misplayed by the FSU left fielder, allowing junior Carly Seveirni to score from first.
BC took a 2-0 lead in the first inning of game two behind back-to-back doubles by seniors Chloe Sharabba and Annie Murphy and an RBI single by freshman CC Cook. A two-run home run by Murphy in the second gave the Eagles a 4-0 advantage. Senior Jessica Dreswick held the Seminoles hit-less through five innings, but FSU pieced together five runs in the sixth to take a 5-4 lead that it would hold for the remainder of the game.
The pitching staff of Frei and Dreswick held Florida State scoreless through 12 innings before allowing a run. The Seminoles entered the day 32nd in the nation in team batting average at .307, but Frei and Dreswick allowed only a combined three earned runs and together struck out 16 batters.
The Eagles' lineup out-hit the Seminoles, 16-5, on the day. The win against the Seminoles in game one was the first victory vs. FSU since 2008.
The Eagles look for their fourth straight series win when they host No.13/9 Florida State at the Brighton Athletic Village for the third game of the series tomorrow, April 14 at 2:30 p.m.
