ROCK HILL, S.C. – The Boston University softball team struck early on junior Brooke Deppiesse's solo homer and never looked back in a 10-2 run-rule victory over Queens Sunday morning at the Winthrop Eagle Classic.

Totaling a career-high four RBIs, sophomore Livia Christopher delivered the knockout blow in the bottom of the fifth with a walk-off two-out, two-RBI triple to help the Terriers improve to 11-9, as the Royals fell to 5-12. BU's 13 hits were one shy of the season high set back on Friday in a 13-1 victory against Presbyterian.

Senior Tyesha Williams led the Terriers batting 3-for-3 with three runs, while Deppiesse and sophomore Sophie Naivar collected two RBIs apiece. In the circle, junior Kasey Ricard (7-6) pitched 4.1 scoreless innings with three strikeouts for BU's fourth run-rule victory of the season.

HOW IT HAPPENED

After Ricard ended the top of the first with a strikeout, Deppiesse launched a 2-1 pitch during the bottom half to center for the 1-0 lead.
The Terriers extended the lead to 4-0 in the second off five hits and an error with both Christopher and Deppiesse recording two-out RBI singles.
BU added four more runs during the third off four hits, including sophomore Sophie Naivar's two-RBI single, for the 8-0 advantage.
Freshman Ava Johnson entered the fifth in relief for Ricard and quickly earned two outs, but Queens managed to load the bases on a pair of singles and walk to set up a two-RBI single against Ricard.
The Terriers struck back in the bottom half with Williams and freshman Biz Baglieri hitting infield singles to set up Christopher's bases-clearing triple.

UP NEXT

BU has two games remaining outside the Northeast with a visit to Queens on Tuesday (March 11) at 6 p.m. and then to Charlotte on Wednesday (March 12) at 5 p.m.
