Sellers Walk-Off Home Run Completes Come-Back Win Over Georgia Tech
May 04, 2018 | Softball
Junior Carly Severini collected five RBIs in the game
BRIGHTON, Mass. – The Boston College softball team defeated Georgia Tech, 8-6, in 10 innings on Friday night behind a walk-off two-run home run by freshman Cami Sellers at the Harrington Athletics Village on Friday night.
Â
A two-run home run by Cameron Stanford in the first inning gave Georgia Tech an early 2-0 lead. Back-to-back walks by the Yellow Jackets in the fourth inning combined with two singles and a throwing error put Georgia Tech up 5-0. BC did not get on the board until the fifth inning when it loaded the bases on a walk, single and hit by pitch. Junior Carly Severini entered the game to pinch hit for sophomore Olivia Markopoulos and she blasted a bases-clearing triple off the right field wall. Junior Lexi DiEmmanuele hustled out a bunt single and senior Chloe Sharabba reached base on a fielder's choice. Sharabba got stuck in a run-down and was eventually tagged out, but DiEmmanuele scored on the play, pulling BC within one.
Â
A solo home run by Malea Bell in the sixth inning increased the Georgia Tech lead to 6-4. With one out in the seventh inning, senior Jordan Chimento reached base on a hit by pitch. Severini blasted a home run over the left field wall to tie the score at six. The score remained tied until the 10th inning when, after a two-out double by freshman CC Cook, Sellers homered to center field to give the Eagles an 8-6 victory.
Â
Redshirt junior Allyson Frei started the game for BC and she threw four innings, allowing four hits and five runs and recording six strikeouts. Senior Jessica Dreswick threw the remaining six innings, allowing only one run, two hits and collecting nine K's.
Â
BC will return to action tomorrow, May 5, when it plays Georgia Tech in a double-header beginning at 1 p.m. at the Harrington Athletics Village at Brighton Fields for the second annual Back the Blue Game and Senior Day.
