On Sunday, Boston College baseball topped Georgia Tech by a score of 15-2 in a decisive run-rule series opener at McMahon Field. The Yellow Jackets (45-9, 25-5 ACC) secured their 4th series sweep over the Panthers (36-20, 17-13 ACC) after winning the game in just 2 innings. With a dominant offensive performance that featured a five-run first inning, Boston College showcased their strong small ball and inning-ending abilities as they brought home the series.
BRIGHTON, Mass. — Brady Miller did not even last a full inning. In fact, he did not last more than a single out.long leading up to Sunday’s finale between No. 23 Boston College baseball and No. 3 Georgia Tech, the Yellow Jacket’s lineup had no trouble garnering five runs in the top of the first inning — all against the Eagles’ starter.
It started immediately when leadoff batter Carson Kerce walked, followed by Drew Burress’ double to left field, which advanced Kerce to third. A wild pitch allowed Kerce to score the first run of the game and send Burress to third, and the runs kept trickling in after that. Jarren Advincula scored Burress with an infield single, Vahn Lackey tripled to score Advincula, and Ryan Zuckerman scored Lackey with a single.
Miller finally got the first out of the frame with a strikeout, but Schmidt’s infield single allowed Zuckerman to score all the way from second base due to a fielding error, making it 5-0. BC head coach Todd Interdonato decided to go to the bullpen from there, and right-hander Kyle Kipp managed to pitch out of the top of the frame by inducing a 5-4-3 double play.
But the damage was enough to keep the Yellow Jackets (45-9, 25-5 ACC) in the lead for the rest of the matchup and close out their series sweep over BC (36-20, 17-13 ACC) in commanding fashion with a 15-2, run-rule victory. In the bottom of the first, the Eagles tacked on a pair of runs by showcasing the method of baseball which they have excelled at all year — small ball.
After Julio Solier’s infield single to lead off the bottom of the inning, Nick Wang reached first on a throwing error, and Ty Mainolfi loaded the bases with an optimal bunt between short and the mound. Kyle Wolff then brought home Solier and Wang with a double through third base, cutting BC’s deficit to 5-2.
Following Luke Gallo’s walk, which loaded the bases again, Carter Hendrickson struck out, Cesar Gonzalez did the same, and Ben Williams grounded into a fielder’s choice, ending the rally there
