Swing away: Senior Ashley Wolf homered yesterday to help the Red come from behind to get the win, 5-4, in Game 2.Last year, the softball team broke a five-game losing streak against Syracuse. This year, the Red extended that winning streak to three as it took both games of yesterday’s doubleheader. In both games, the Red was behind heading into the bottom of the fifth but managed to pull ahead in both contests to win Game 1, 5-3, and Game 2, 5-4.
Syracuse (14-25, 5-7 Big East) struck first in Game 1, taking two unearned runs in the top of the second. After an error opened the door for the Orange offense to eventually score twice, freshman pitcher Ali Tomlinson struck out two batters to end the inning.
