No. 22 Softball Completes Series Sweep at Lafayette with 10-1 Run-Rule Victory
April 28, 2024 | Softball
EASTON, Pa. – Helped by three extra-base hits and sophomore Kasey Ricard's 11 strikeouts, the No. 22/23 nationally-ranked Boston University softball team completed the series sweep with an 10-1 (6) victory at Lafayette Sunday afternoon.
With their 13th run-rule win of the spring and 10-3 advantage in hits, the Terriers improve to 45-4-1 (15-0 PL), while the Leopards drop to 4-33 (1-14 PL). Ricard (23-3) reached double-digit strikeouts for the ninth time this season, and senior Kayla Roncin earned her sixth 3+ RBI performance with the help of a bases-clearing double.
HOW IT HAPPENED
With their 13th run-rule win of the spring and 10-3 advantage in hits, the Terriers improve to 45-4-1 (15-0 PL), while the Leopards drop to 4-33 (1-14 PL). Ricard (23-3) reached double-digit strikeouts for the ninth time this season, and senior Kayla Roncin earned her sixth 3+ RBI performance with the help of a bases-clearing double.
HOW IT HAPPENED
- After both teams failed to take advantage of a double with less than two outs, BU and Lafayette went into the fourth inning scoreless.
- The Terriers pulled away with five runs off four hits and sophomore Brooke Deppiesse's RBI sac bunt.
- Senior Lauren Nett delivered an RBI single, and freshman Kylie Doherty followed with a three-run blast to right for the 5-0 advantage.
- After stranding two on base in the fifth, the Terriers doubled their lead in the top of the sixth with five runs off three hits, two walks and two hit-by-pitches.
- With the bases loaded and one out, Roncin drove a pitch to the left-center gap and later scored on junior Tyesha Williams' RBI single.
- Junior Sydney Pecoraro gave BU its ninth double-digit run performance on an RBI sac fly.
- Ricard retired 14 straight batters before giving up a two-out solo HR in the sixth, as the Leopards avoided a third straight shutout.
- The Terriers will host the final four games of the regular season, starting on Tuesday (April 30) at 3 p.m. against ACC rival Boston College on NESN.
