The Tornados came-from-behind after trailing 4-0 to take the win. BC scored eight unanswered runs between the fourth and sixth innings to secure the comeback victory.
Carolina Univ. scored a run in the top of the first, then added three more runs - all unearned - in the top of the third inning to give the Bruins the early 4-0 advantage.
Lead-off hitter Taylor Hannah opened the bottom of the third with an electric triple to left field. The Hannah triple set up Jocelyn Folkers, who promptly hit an RBI-single to right to score Hannah.
Trailing 4-1, Kaitlynn Farmer entered the game in relief of starter Ali Grace Hartman (2.2 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 1 ER) to try to keep the deficit in check. Farmer produced a 1-2-3 inning forcing two ground outs and recording a strikeout to sit down the Bruins.
The Tornados then rallied with two outs in the bottom of the fourth, as Beth Hyatt and Hannah singles, alongside a walk drawn by Autumn Lollis, were followed by a double from senior Emily White to total three runs in the frame and tie the game, 4-4.
A three-run error in which Hannah touched all four bases gave BC the lead in the bottom of the fifth. The Tornados then added two more insurance runs on a two-RBI single by Brittany Franks that scored Micayla McCoy and White.
BC has been led offensively by Emily White through the early goings of 2021, as White has a .455 batting average with a team-best five hits, four runs, and four RBI's.
Following action this weekend, the Tornados will return home next weekend for a four-game set vs. Huntingdon College. The two sides will square off in conference play on Saturday, March 27 at 12 and 2 p.m. and non-conference action on Sunday, March 28 at 12 and 2 p.m.
