No. 21/24 Softball Blanks Crusaders, 4-0, to Complete Weekend Shutout Sweep
April 14, 2024 | Softball
BOSTON - Sophomore Kasey Ricard pitched a three-hit shutout with 11 strikeouts and freshman Kylie Doherty was 2-for-2 with a home run and three RBIs to lead the No. 21/24 Boston University softball team to a 4-0 win and a weekend sweep over Holy Cross on Sunday afternoon at BU Softball Field.
BU outscored the Crusaders by a margin of 23-0 in the three-game sweep following run-rule wins of 14-0 and 9-0 on Saturday and collected three Turnpike Trophy points in the process. BU now has a 13-7 lead in this year's competition.
Doherty opened the scoring in the bottom of the second with her sixth home run of the season and the Terriers added a run in both the third and fifth innings.
Ricard (17-3) and the Terriers never allowed a Crusader past first base on the day en route to the team's fourth straight shutout and eighth straight win.
BU improves to 35-4 overall and 9-0 in Patriot League play while Holy Cross falls to 8-24 with an 0-9 conference mark.
