Key Innings
B1 | Notre Dame took advantage of a key Boston College defensive miscue to grab a 3-0 lead. Ali Wester opened the game with a single and moved into scoring position on Marino’s ground out. After Cait Brooks walked, Abby Sweet pulled a pitch down the third-base line that rolled right through the wickets of Eagles’ third baseman Gianna Boccagno. Wester cruised home on the error. Rochford pushed the lead to 3-0 with a two-run double to right centerfield.
