BRIGHTON, Mass. — After dropping the series opener 9-0 on Thursday, No. 23 Boston College baseball has an opportunity to force a rubber match against No. 3 Georgia Tech with Friday’s contest, which is set to begin at 6 p.m. ET after originally being scheduled for 3 p.m.
The Eagles (36-18, 17-11 ACC) were silenced in every sense of the word in Thursday’s loss, striking out 18 times and tallying just one hit while allowing the Yellow Jackets (43-9, 23-5) to garner four home runs in their program record-setting 23rd conference win.
BC head coach Todd Interdonato was not just confused by his players’ effort — he was utterly disappointed and said that it was completely unacceptable, especially in front of a home crowd.
“[A] different team needs to show up tomorrow, I can tell you that,” Interdonato said after the game. “A different team needs to show up tomorrow and I hope that’s what happens.”
Friday’s pitching matchup will feature left-hander Tyler Mudd (4-3, 4.77 ERA) for the Eagles and right-hander Carson Ballard (6-0, 3.38 ERA) for the Yellow Jackets.
The temperature at the time of first pitch is forecasted to be 55 degrees with cloudy conditions and zero chance of rain.
Below are the live updates for the second contest of the series at Harrington Athletics Village.
