BC Walks It Off For Fifth Straight Win
May 01, 2021 | Softball
Elisabeth Laviolette’s game-winning single in the eighth the difference
BRIGHTON, Mass. – Freshman left fielder Elisabeth Laviolette's walk-off single scored Djhane Valido from second as Boston College captured its fifth straight victory with a 5-4 win in eight innings Saturday against Louisville in the first game of a day-night doubleheader.
Â
Susannah Anderson won her second straight game of the series, throwing her second complete game of the weekend with eight innings of work.
Â
BC used a big four-run third inning to take a 4-1 lead, thanks in large part to freshman second baseman Nicole Giery's first career home run. Giery launched a three-run shot over the scoreboard in left.
Â
Louisville got one back in the fourth and then scored two with two outs in the sixth on a ball lost in the sun. BC looked like it was out of the inning in the sixth, but the ball dropped in and tied the contest at four.
Â
The Eagles had a chance to win it in the seventh, but left the winning run stranded at second.
Â
In the eighth, Valido and Ellie Mataya both singled before Laviolette walked things off for the game-winner.
Â
Mataya led BC with three hits while Laviolette and Gianna Randazza both recorded multi-hit afternoons for the winners.
Â
The five-game winning streak for BC is the longest since 2018, when the Eagles put together a stretch of 13 consecutive victories.
Â
The two teams resume game three of the series today at 5 p.m. on ACC Network.
