Boston College’s baseball program reached a milestone this week as the Eagles secured the fourth seed in the 2026 ACC Championship, earning a double bye that marks the highest seed in school history.
A Historic Seed
The Eagles finished the regular season with a 36‑20 overall record and a 17‑13 mark in conference play, posting a 19‑7 record at home while going 13‑10 on the road. Under head coach Todd Interdonato, the team has turned a 22‑31 record from 2024 into a 28‑29 finish in 2025 and improved from an 8‑22 conference standing to 11‑19, defying projections that had them slated to finish last.
Quarterfinal Matchup
Boston College’s first game is scheduled for Thursday at 7 p.m. ET, when they will face the winner of No. 5 Miami’s second‑round matchup against either No. 12 Stanford or No. 13 California. The opponent will be determined after Miami’s game, but the Eagles are prepared for whichever team emerges.
Rise Under Interdonato
Veteran right‑hander Mike Gambino is expected to anchor the rotation, bringing a calm presence that complements Interdonato’s aggressive strategy. The coach has repeatedly stressed that the focus remains on executing their game plan in the tournament, a mantra that has resonated throughout the clubhouse.
The Eagles will play in the quarterfinals, a stage that many thought was out of reach just a few seasons ago. Their unexpected run reflects a blend of disciplined pitching, timely hitting, and a belief that the program can compete with the ACC’s traditional powerhouses.
