Lindsey Hendrix had just forced a groundout to Virginia Tech’s Kelsey Brown, dropping the .426 hitter to 0-for-4 on the afternoon. Syracuse still trailed by five, but it looked like Hendrix was calming down after giving up two runs in the fourth inning.
After a single up the middle, catcher Grace Chavez grounded to Neli Casares-Maher at shortstop. Casares-Maher’s parents who traveled from California for the first game they could attend sat behind home plate, huddled together under a blanket and holding a Syracuse stuffed animal.
