Maryland Falls To Boston College In Extras, 3-2

CHARLOTTE, NC – Maryland softball dropped a heartbreaker in eight innings to Boston College, 3-2, in the Queen City Classic. The Terps are now 9-8 on the season. 

The Eagles scored the winning run on a Kennedy Labshere single up the middle in the bottom of the eighth capping a comeback after Maryland led 2-0. 

Taylor Okada went 2-for-3 at the plate with a double and a run scored. Mackense Greico drove in a go-ahead  run in the top of the fifth inning to put Maryland ahead by two runs. 

The Terps received another strong pitching performance as Haley Ellefson threw five innings, allowing just one run on six hits while striking out four.

Boston College is now 9-5 overall. 

Breaking Down The Action
  • After the teams traded scoreless frames for the first three innings, Maryland broke through with a run in the fourth inning as Okada scored on an attempted squeeze play where Okada was safe at home while RIley Goff was thrown out at first base after Okada scored. 
  • The Terps took a 2-0 lead in the top of the fifth as Greico's sacrifice fly brought home Merissa Borkowski with two outs. 
  • The Eagles got one run back in the bottom of the fifth with Elisabeth Laviolette doubled home Ellie Mataya.
  • Maryland appeared to have taken a 3-1 lead in the sixth inning, but the run was taken off the board on an obstruction call. 
  • Boston College tied the game in the bottom of the sixth on a groundout. 
  • The Eagles walked it off in the bottom of the eighth on Labshere run-scoring hit to score Abigail Knight.
