Sharabba Leads Eagles to Series Sweep of NC State in Extra-Inning Victory
April 08, 2018 | Softball
BC has now tied the all-time consecutive win record with 10 straight W's
RALEIGH, N.C. – The Boston College softball team secured a series sweep of NC State as it defeated the Wolfpack, 5-3, in nine innings behind three RBIs off the bat of senior Chloe Sharabba, to earn its first extra-inning victory of the year and its 10 straight win. The Eagles have now tied the all-time consecutive win record that was set back in 1995.
Both teams remained scoreless through four innings. NC State struck first with one run in the fifth inning, but a home run by senior Chloe Sharabba in the sixth tied the score. The teams went back and forth over the next two innings as the score stood tied at 3-3 at the end of seven innings when, with two outs and two strikes in the seventh, the Wolfpack came back as Madeline Curtis reached on a single and scored on a double by Jade Caraway to force extra innings.
Neither team was able to score in the eighth inning. Senior Jordan Chimento led off the ninth with a single to right field and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by freshman Cami Sellers. With two outs, Sharabba blasted a double to right center field to drive home the game-winning run in Chimento. The Eagles would add one more run with a single off the bat of senior Annie Murphy. Redshirt junior Allyson Frei threw a scoreless bottom of the ninth to secure a 5-3 victory for BC.
BC will play at the Brighton Athletic Village for the first time when it hosts UMass in a midweek matchup on Tuesday, April 10.
