AMHERST, Mass. – The University of Massachusetts softball team plated a pair of runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to force extras, but wound up falling to Boston College in the eighth inning 6-2 on Wednesday afternoon at Sortino Field. The Minutewomen (20-17 Overall) put runners on base in the first six innings as they finished with six hits.
Â
Boston College took a two-run lead in their second trip to the plate, scoring after a drop third strike that got away before a RBI single.
Â
Kenadee Rausch settled in after allowing the two runs, retiring five straight batters after the RBI single while facing nine consecutive batters without allowing a hit or a walk. Rausch finished her day after throwing five innings with three strikeouts and two runs allowed before being replaced by Quinn Breidenbach in the top of the sixth inning.
Â
The Minutewomen started their two-run sixth inning with a Caroline Videtto walk followed by a Kendra Allen hit-by-pitch and a Hannah Bunker single that loaded the bases with one out in the inning. Bunker finished with a team-leading two hits on the game to go along with a run scored.
Â
Erin Stacevicz and Kaycee Carbone worked a pair of walks, the first coming with one out to pull the Minutewomen within a run before Carbone's free pass brought in Bunker to tie things up at 2-2. Carbone picked up a pair of walks with a hit and a RBI in the contest.
Â
The Eagles took advantage of a leadoff walk in the eighth inning on their way to putting a pair of runners on with one down before a single to center field brought in the first of four runs. An error allowed BC to score two runs the following at-bat before they added their final score of the day on a fielder's choice with two down.
Â
Kendra Allen and Melissa Garcia each added a hit for the Minutewomen while Videtto worked a pair of walks and scored a run.
Â
The Minutewomen return to the field for Atlantic 10 play this weekend as they head to Dayton, Ohio to take on the Flyers in a three-game series beginning on Friday.
