Season-High 12 Hits Not Enough as Softball Falls to Duke, 6-5
March 17, 2018 | Softball
Eight starters recorded a hit in the game
DURHAM N.C. – Despite a season high 12 hits on the day for the Eagles, the Boston College softball team lost, 6-5, to Duke in its second conference game of the year on Saturday afternoon.
Â
Entering the fourth inning trailing 2-1, the Eagles loaded the bases on a single by freshman Cami Sellers, followed by a fielder's choice by classmate CC Cook and a single to center field by senior Jordan Chimento. Junior Allyson Moore laid down a seeing-eye bunt that the Duke infielders could not get to quick enough, allowing Moore to reach safely and two runs to score. A single by senior Chloe Sharabba to left field drove home Moore to give BC a 5-2 lead.
Â
Duke responded in the bottom of the inning though as it loaded the bases on a pair of walks and a single. Dominique Salinas reached on a fielding error that scored one run and Rachel Abboud hit a single to right field to drive home two more runs and tie the score. Raine Wilson hit a single to right center in the sixth inning to drive home Reilly Metzger and make it 6-5. The Eagles put runners on the corners with two outs in the seventh, but were unable to score.
Â
BC looks for their first conference win when it takes on Duke in the final game of the three-game series tomorrow at 1 p.m.
