BRIGHTON, Mass. – Boston College Softball (17-19, 3-9 ACC) fell to crosstown rival Boston University by a score of 2-1 on Wednesday afternoon at the Harrington Athletics Village in the 48th Battle of Commonwealth Avenue.Â

In the top of the seventh, the visitors took the lead for the first time in the game thanks to a solo home run over the center field wall, making things 2-1. BC was unable to answer in the bottom of the inning, giving the Terriers the victory.
Kelly Colleran dealt seven complete innings, tossing six strikeouts, while giving up two earned runs. This is her sixth complete game this season.
