Softball's Comeback Effort Comes Up Short, 5-4
May 22, 2010
AMHERST, Mass. - Despite a valiant rally by the Terriers, the Boston University softball team dropped a 5-4 decision to LIU on Saturday night in the NCAA Regional and finishes its season at 35-22 overall. BU was down by five runs in the sixth, but came back to score four over the final two innings. Senior Rachel Hebert went 1-for-4 - a solo home run with two outs in the seventh inning - while freshman Whitney Tuthill went 2-for-3 with one RBI. BU's earlier win over UMass marks the second straight year it has won a game in the NCAA Regionals, and it is just the second time overall an America East squad has won in back-to-back years as Hofstra also accomplished the feat back in 2000 and 2001. Hebert finished the game with one home run in her last at-bat, which brought BU to within one run, 5-4, with two outs in the seventh inning. One of Tuthill's two hits broke up a perfect game in the fifth inning and she pitched 2.2 innings with one strikeout. Senior hurler Cassidi Hardy pitched the first 4.1 innings and struck out six batters. LIU threatened in the third with a double that roped into center field to place two runners in scoring position with one out and it scored on the next at-bat on a wild pitch. The Black Birds added one more when an illegal pitch was called to round out the first-inning scoring. After a scoreless fourth inning, LIU moved the score to 5-0 off back-to-back RBI hits. BU's offense struggled through the first four innings, as LIU's Blaire Porter was tough to beat, forcing infield ground outs on 12 of the 13 at-bats and striking out one until Tuthill broke up the perfect game with a double to right center. In the sixth, the Terriers broke through with three runs as Hebert, Setterlund and Roesch crossed home on three straight RBI singles. In the next inning, BU got itself out of a one-out bases-loaded jam on a fielder's choice and a strikeout.
Hebert unloaded a two-out blast to left center with two outs in the bottom of the seventh to draw BU to within one run; however, a groundout closed out the rally for BU. Junior April Setterlund finishes the season with a .482 BA, which shatters the single-season school by nearly 70 percentage points. She finishes 2010 with five additional school records: hits (80) doubles (19), runs (63), RBI (52) and slugging percentage (.861). Hebert will graduate as one of the program's best power hitters in the history of the program. She finishes her career in the top ten for hits (9th, 165), doubles (3rd, 32), home runs (3rd, 27), RBI (3rd, 121), runs (6th, 114), at-bats (4th, 639) and slugging percentage (10th, .451). Hardy will go down as one of BU's most accomplished pitchers, ranking as the programs's leader in appearances (154), complete games (95), innings pitched (840.0) and wins (85) and she is second in shutouts (32) and strikeouts (825). The BU senior class graduates with an overall record of 141-77 with a .647 winning percentage - good for second all-time in wins. |
