RADFORD, Va. - The Boston College softball team took both games of a doubleheader, 5-4 and 12-0, over Radford Saturday afternoon in non-conference softball action at Radford's Dedmon Center Park.
In the opening game, Kimberly Ryan kept Radford in check for six innings, including striking out seven batters in a row, 11 total on the day. With the Eagles ahead 3-1 in the top of the seventh, Alison Erbig and Summer Jarratt drove in two runs to drive the lead to 5-1. Radford tacked on three runs in a late-game rally, but fell short as Tekae Malandris struck out the final Radford batter to end the game.
In the nightcap, BC jumped out to an early lead, scoring three runs in the first inning. The Eagles added five more runs in the second inning when Jennifer Asbury drove in two and Jarratt, Cara Blumfield and Tekae Malandris drove in one run each to give BC a 8-0 lead after two innings.
BC took a 12-0 lead in the top of the fifth inning as Brooke Shull struck out six en route to the shutout. The 12-0 win marked the third time in four games BC held its opponent scoreless.
The wins lifted Boston College to 13-9 overall, while Radford dropped to 12-21-1 on the season. BC will open BIG EAST play on Sunday with a doubleheader against new conference member Virginia Tech.
