HOW IT HAPPENED AGAINST PITT:
Syracuse and Pitt traded runs in the third inning, with junior Taylor Posner singling in Jasso for the game’s first run.
Trailing 2-1 heading into the fifth, the Orange took a 3-2 advantage. Jasso scored his second run of the ballgame on a throwing error before junior Laila Morales-Alves singled to the left-center gap to plate Posner.
The Panthers responded with a two-run single off the bat of Amanda Ramirez in the home half of the frame and never looked back. Cami Compson capped off the team’s four-run sixth with a three-run homer to dead center.
Sophomore Madison Knight tossed four innings in the no-decision, striking out a pair of batters.
