A Early Surge Falls Short
The No. 4 Boston College Eagles entered the ACC Tournament quarterfinals with a 2-0 advantage, sparked by timely hits from Jack Toomey and Kyle Wolff. The early lead suggested a comfortable path forward, but the Hurricanes had other plans.
Miami answered in the top of the second inning, flipping the score to 4-2. Fabio Peralta’s two-run home run ignited the comeback, putting the Hurricanes ahead 3-2 and shifting momentum.
The rally continued in the fourth when Alex Sosa launched a two-run homer, extending Miami’s lead to 6-2. Gabriel Milano added a run in the seventh with an RBI double, and a final tally came in the eighth on a fielder’s choice.
Boston College starter A.J. Colarusso was charged with six runs over five innings, a performance that left the Eagles scrambling for answers as the game slipped away.
With the loss final, the Eagles now await the NCAA Selection Show to learn their regional destination. The team is projected to receive a 2-seed, but the road ahead will depend on how the selection committee evaluates their overall body of work.
