BOSTON, Mass. – The Boston College softball team defeated Boston University, 1-0, at the BU Softball Field behind a late-inning home run by senior Jordan Chimento and a complete game four-hit performance by redshirt junior pitcher Allyson Frei.
Frei allowed a single and a walk with two outs in the first inning of the game, but picked up the final out. She would not allow another hit until the fourth inning, but it was wasted as the Terriers were unable to plate the runner.
BC posed the biggest threat of the game for both teams in the fourth inning when junior Carly Severini hit a double followed by a walk by freshman Cami Sellers and a hit by pitch by Chimento to load the bases with two outs. The Eagles did not score though. Both teams entered the seventh inning scoreless, but a solo home run by Chimento to lead off the seventh secured a 1-0 victory for BC.
Frei threw her fourth complete game of the season and her second shutout. Chimento collected her first home run of the year.
The Eagles return to ACC action when they travel to Syracuse, N.Y. to take on the Orange in a three-game series beginning on Friday, March 31 at 1 p.m.
