SALEM, Va. – James Madison (9-10) softball opened the Hokie Invite at Moyer Sports Complex with a pair of tough losses, falling 7-6 to Boston College (8-13) and 7-0 to No. 11 Virginia Tech (18-2).

Junior Kendra Lewis went 2-for-3 in both games at the plate, while graduate Kylee Gleason added a home run in game one against the Eagles.

Redshirt junior Payton List pitched her fifth career complete game against Boston College, tallying 11 strikeouts – one shy of her career high.

Boston College 7, JMU 6
The Eagles struck first with an RBI single in the first inning, but JMU quickly responded with three in the bottom half of the inning. Lewis capped off the big inning with an RBI double.

BC tied the game in the second on a two-run homer and then regained the lead with a run in the third to make the score 3-2. The Dukes answered with a game-tying double from sophomore Cali Legzdin in the fourth, before Gleason made it a 6-4 lead for JMU on a two-run blast.

A three-run homer in the fifth from the Eagles' Meghan Schouten gave BC a 7-6 lead, which it never relinquished.

Virginia Tech 7, JMU 0
The Hokies jumped on the Dukes early with a run in the first. They then extended the lead to five with a four-run inning in the second, before adding two more runs in the third for a 7-0 lead.

Sophomore Emily LeGrand and Lewis both had multiple hits for the Dukes against VT.
