Boston College’s baseball squad entered a rain‑delayed two‑game series against New Jersey Institute of Technology with high hopes, only to see the opener washed out and rescheduled.
When the first game finally got underway, the Eagles fell 8‑7 after a late rally fell short; NJIT shut them down in the final innings, and starter Brady Miller was charged with nine hits and seven earned runs in just 4.1 innings, pushing his ERA from 2.58 to 5.22.
The momentum shifted in the second contest, where BC responded with a 6‑3 victory; AJ Colarusso tossed three scoreless innings before the bullpen locked the game down, and Kyle Wolff’s solo homer and RBI added to the offense.
Ben Williams contributed two hits and two RBI, while Julio Solier reached base four times and collected two hits, helping the Eagles secure the split.
A Crucial Home Stretch
Now the focus turns to a pivotal home series against ACC leaders Georgia Tech, a team that arrives with a 42‑8 overall record, a 22‑5 mark in conference play and a No. 3 national ranking.
The Thursday‑through‑Saturday matchup could be the last home games of the season for BC, and a single win would keep the Eagles in control of a top‑four finish that guarantees a double bye in the ACC Tournament.
BC’s destiny hinges on its own performance; the team knows that avoiding a reliance on other results makes the upcoming games all the more critical.
