We hope to schedule these on a quarterly basis – stay tuned for more info.

Softball in San Diego

San Diego Eagles joined parents and friends of members of the Boston College softball team yesterday at the final game of a three-game series against UC San Diego at Triton Softball Field.

BC softball and San Diego Eagles. And kids.

BC swept the series, winning 5-0 and 6-1 in the Friday and Saturday games and hanging on to win 3-2 yesterday. Sophomore pitcher Abby Dunning came in to pitch in relief and struck out the final Triton batter with two Tritons on base for the save.

Sophomore Hannah Slike of Chula Vista had three hits in the series, scoring one run and batting in another.

Following the game, alumni met and chatted with BC players and coaches, who seemed unanimous in appreciating the turnout of local grads. Special thanks to head coach Amy Kvilhuag and director of softball operations Michael Demarin for their assistance.

Among local alumni attending were Rebecca ’89 P’23 and Pat Wade P’23, Joe ’74 P’11 and Lori Mahler P’11, Bill McDonald ’68, Don McGrath ’80, Tekae Malandris ’04, Tim Speros ’07 and his two daughters, and Brian Tsu ’00.

UPDATE: The Eagles finished their SoCal swing with a 5-3 victory today over UC Riverside, finishing 4-0 on the trip.
