WATCH: Duke softball walks off Boston College with 10th-inning home run in ACC Quarterfinals

Duke remained locked in a scoreless battle with 9-seed Boston College in the ACC Softball Quarterfinals on Thursday until sophomore Aminah Vega strode to the plate.

Duke softball survived an upset alert during the ACC Softball Championship Quarterfinals on Thursday.

Boston College, the ninth seed in the conference, held the top-seeded Blue Devils scoreless in Durham through the entire seven innings of regulation and two additional frames during the conference tournament.

With the game still deadlocked at 0-0 hours after the first pitch, Duke got the winning run to second base with no outs in the bottom of the 10th. Sophomore second baseman Aminah Vega stepped to the plate.

Down to her last strike in a 1-2 count, Vega slashed at a pitch and connected, the sound ricocheting through Duke Softball Stadium. The ball catapulted into the Durham sky before disappearing over the centerfield wall, a game-winning two-run home run.

Vega’s big week continues after she won ACC Defensive Player of the Year honors on Wednesday.
