Seventh-Inning Rally Secures Come-Back Win Against Fordham, 4-2
March 11, 2018 | Softball
Senior Jordan Chimento scored the game-winning run
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The Boston College softball team came from behind to defeat Fordham, 4-2, on Sunday afternoon to finish 3-2 on the weekend at the Easton Crimson Classic.
Â
Fordham jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first inning when Madi Shaw hit a two-RBI single. The Eagles tacked on a run in the third as freshman Gianna Randazza led off with a double, junior Lexi DiEmmanuele moved her over to third on a bunt single to the catcher and senior Chloe Sharabba hit a sacrifice fly to score the runner.
Â
BC tied the score at 2-2 in the sixth when a sacrifice fly by junior Carly Severini scored Sharabba. Senior Jordan Chimento led off the seventh inning with a single, advanced to second on a ground out and advanced to third on a wild pitch. DiEmmanuele laid down a bunt in the following at-bat and Chimento was running to successfully complete the suicide squeeze for the Eagles and give them the lead. A single by Sharabba drove home one more run, securing a 4-2 victory.

The Eagles return to action when they open ACC play next week at Duke in Durham, N.C.

- Sharabba led off the sixth inning with a single to the shortstop and advanced to second on a fielding error. A line out by Murphy advanced Sharabba to third and a fly out to center field by Severini scored the tying run.
- Chimento led off the seventh inning with a single to right field and advanced to second on a ground out by junior Allyson Moore to put the winning run on second with no out. Sophomore Olivia Markopoulos drew a walk. Both runners advanced a base on a wild pitch. With the suicide squeeze on, DiEmmanuele bunted to the pitcher, scoring Chimento and advancing Markopoulos to third. Sharabba then hit a single to center field to score Markopoulos and give the Eagles a 4-2 lead.
