Dreswick Tosses Shutout in Win Over UMass
April 18, 2018 | Softball
The right-hander tied the all-time win record at BC with her 55th career victory
AMHERST, Mass. – The Boston College softball team defeated Massachusetts, 5-0, behind a complete game, shutout by senior pitcher Jessica Dreswick. With the victory in her 100th game started as an Eagle, Dreswick tied the winningest pitcher in BC history, Alexis Beckman, with 55 career wins.
Â
The Eagles jumped out to an early lead in the first inning when senior Annie Murphy hit a double and freshman Emme Martinez reached on an error. A double by freshman CC Cook plated Murphy and a bunt single by junior Lexi DiEmmanuele allowed Martinez to score. In the following inning, singles by freshman Cami Sellers and senior Chloe Sharabba gave BC runners on first and second with one out. Another double by Murphy scored Sellers and Sharabba scored on a ground out by Martinez. Sharabba blasted a home run in the fourth inning to give BC a 5-0 lead that it would hold for the remainder of the game.

After collecting two hits on the day, Murphy has now reached the 200-hit milestone in her career, which is good for fourth place in BC history. She is also second all-time with 37 career doubles.
