March 07, 2020 | Softball
ATLANTA – Behind a grand slam from Gianna Boccagno, the Boston College softball team defeated Georgia Tech, 6-0, on Saturday, Feb. 7 at Mewborn Field for its first ACC win of the 2020 season.
Â
Susannah Anderson pitched seven innings, giving up three hits with five strikeouts and no runs. The win gives her an ACC-lead five shutouts this season.
Â
Both Kristin Giery and Emme Martinez with 2-3 on the day.
Â
BC opened the scoring in the top of the fourth by playing a little small ball. After reaching base on a single, Ellie Mataya stole second. Then she advanced to third on a single by Martinez. Britney Richardson came in to pinch-run for Martinez, who then stole second. On the throw, Mataya broke for home and scored.
Â
Giery then stepped to the plate and hit an RBI double down the left-field line to score pinch-runner Gianna Sarlo.
Â
The Eagles then loaded the bases with a trio of singles, before Boccagno took the first pitch of her at-bat to left field for a grand slam.
Â
Djhane Valido was active at shortstop, tallying a season-high eight assists in the field.
Â
