Jordan Jaffe was the catalyst, compiling three hits that included an RBI triple and a home run, while also reaching the milestone of his sixth three‑hit game this season. Nick Barone contributed two RBI singles, and Josh Campos added his 12th home run of the year, underscoring a balanced offensive attack.

On the mound, right‑handers Jaxon Lucas and Jake Potts limited the Eagles to three runs on seven hits, preserving the lead late in the game. Their combined effort reflected a disciplined pitching strategy that kept Boston College’s bats in check.

With the win, Liberty will now face the Georgia Bulldogs in the final, a matchup that promises another test of the Flames’ resilience. The team’s 37‑23 season record for Boston College highlights the competitiveness of the regional field.

The victory also marked a personal benchmark for several players, including Jaxon Lucas, who recorded his 22nd multi‑hit game, and Ty Mainolfi, whose defensive contributions helped seal the win. The Flames’ depth and experience position them as a formidable contender heading into the championship.
