A walk and a sacrifice in the top of the thirteenth started BU's big inning. Terrier Kathy Harrison then hit a shallow fly to left with a runner on second and one out.

Senior Katic Fitta dove for the ball, but it bounced off her glove for the game winning double. The Terriers tacked on six more runs in the inning to distort the score of what had been a very close game.

"My pitches [in the 13th inning] weren't breaking like they used to," Carr said. "They had faced me so many times in the game, and they finally got their timing."

Although losing in thirteen innings is emotionally draining, Crimson players said the team wasn't too distraught after the contest. Haskell said that the loss would actually help the Crimson.

"We can take a great deal of confidence out of this game," Haskell said. "We showed we can play with just about anybody."

NOTEBOOK: The teams were scheduled to play a double-header, but the coaches and umpires decided that it would be best not to start the second game.

"We wanted to get the second game fully completed if we were to start it," Haskell said. "We only had about 45 minutes of daylight left, so we called it off."

Emotional Day Saturday: There will be a dedication of the new score board at Soldiers Field in memory of Becky Pocius '94 preceding Saturday's doubleheader against Pennsylvania at 1 p.m.

Pocius, a catcher who received two varsity letters and was also an enthusiastic leader on the softball team, was killed last August in a car accident. Family and friends of Pocuis and the softball team will be on hand for the ceremony.
