Boston College Softball Blows Lead, Loses to Notre Dame in ACC Tournament

Despite taking an early lead over Natre Dame today, the Eagles ended up losing in the first round of the ACC Tournament by a final score of 9-5.

BC scored twice in the first inning to take a 2-0 lead. Notre Dame tied things up in the third, but BC scored three more runs to take a 5-2 lead. Heading into the seventh and final regulation inning, BC held a 5-3 lead, but Notre Dame scored twice to send the game to extra innings.

Pitcher Jessica Dreswick was visibly tired by the eighth inning, and allowed 4 runs to give Notre Dame a 9-5 lead. Jordan Weed came in to relieve Dreswick with 1 out after the 9th run scored, and got out of the inning unscathed.

The Eagles started the bottom of the eighth with a single, but quickly hit into a double play. BC then hit a fly ball to end the game and any hopes of an ACC title.
