It marked the first time all series BC scored first.
Virginia finally got to Anderson for one run in the sixth to tie it at one. Tori Gilbert singled to right field with two outs to even things up.
BC had a chance to take the lead in the ninth, but the Eagles left the bases loaded. BC left 10 runners on base over the first nine innings of play. In all, BC stranded 12 runners on the day.
With the bases loaded in the 12th, Virginia (11-18, 7-14 ACC) used an infield single to win it.
