Syracuse entered Friday afternoon’s doubleheader against Boston College on a seven-game winning streak, its longest since 2018.
The Orange (15-9, 8-6 Atlantic Coast) swept both games against Buffalo on Tuesday, outscoring the Bulls 15-3 in the first series at Skytop Softball Stadium in 702 days. On Friday, Syracuse continued that streak by defeating the Eagles (6-23, 2-15) 2-1 in extra innings in the first game, and 7-1 in the second matchup.
Alexa Romero got the nod in the opening game, just three days after giving up two runs over a seven inning, complete-game performance against Buffalo on Tuesday. The grad student easily worked her way through BC’s offense, striking out 12 and allowing just a single run. SU’s offense was unable to provide Romero with any run support, however, as it was held scoreless until the top of the seventh. Paris Woods reached on a fielding error by right fielder Erika Andal — who had just subbed in before the inning — and advanced all the way to third base. The next hitter, Rebecca Clyde, reached on a fielder’s choice and Woods scored to tie the game at one.
