Syracuse’s nine-game winning streak, its longest since 2018, ended in doubleheader losses to Boston College on Saturday.
The Orange (15-11, 8-8 Atlantic Coast) dropped both games to the Eagles (8-21, 4-13 ACC), falling back to .500 in conference play. Syracuse rotated through each of their four pitchers in a 5-3 loss in the opening game and a 3-1 loss in the second.
Freshman pitchers Lindsey Hendrix and Jolie Gustave split time on the mound in the opening game, allowing three and two runs, respectively. Hendrix gave up three runs in the bottom of the third inning, as the Eagles scored first and jumped out to a 3-0 lead.

With one out and Neli Casares-Maher on second base, Angel Jasso just needed to get the ball into the outfield to advance the shortstop to third base. Instead, while facing a 2-0 count, Jasso reached on an outside pitch and clobbered a home run over the center field wall to bring Casares-Maher and herself home, giving Syracuse a 5-0 lead in game one of Syracuse’s doubleheader against Buffalo on Tuesday.
Jasso sprinted the bases with her arms in the air as cheers erupted from the bench. Casares-Maher was awaiting her at home along with Toni Martin, the on-deck batter with whom Jasso jumped into a hug to celebrate her second career home run.

Syracuse dropped its only game on Friday 6-3 in extra innings against St. Francis. SU was scheduled to play a second game as part of the Winthrop Garnet/Gold Classic, but it was canceled due to rain.
With the loss, Syracuse (2-3, 2-2 Atlantic Coast) dropped back below .500 with the loss to St. Francis University (4-1). The Red Flash hung two runs in the top of the sixth before Syracuse responded with one run to send the game into extra innings. But after a scoreless seventh frame from Alexa Romero and Kaia Oliver, SFU tagged Oliver for four runs in the top of the eighth. Oliver’s loss moves her record to 1-2 on the year, and her ERA now sits at 3.14 through 14 1/3 innings pitched.
