BOSTON COLLEGE SNEAKS PAST VCU, 4-3

Score: Boston College 4, VCU 3
Location: Richmond, Va. (The Diamond)
Records: VCU 2-9, Boston College 4-4
 
THE SHORT STORY: VCU baseball closed out its first weekend in The Diamond still in search of a win at home as Boston College managed a go-ahead run in the eighth inning to sneak past the Rams shut down their comeback.
 
LEADING OFF:
  • The Rams defense turned four double plays, the most since March 2022 against East Carolina, and for just the third time in the last 10 seasons
  • Owen Tappy went a career-high 5.2 innings, allowing just one earned run and fanning a pair
  • Freshman Jacob Lee had his team-best fourth multi-hit game
  • Nate Kirkpatrick extended his on-base streak to five games
  • Carter Richey, who made his first start as a Ram yesterday, tallied his second hit in as many games and added a run
  • VCU and Boston College were tied with seven hits apiece
  • This marked the Rams' second one-run game against an ACC opponent, also falling 4-3 at then No. 14 Clemson last weekend
 
HOW IT HAPPENED:
  • Boston College took advantage of early VCU mistakes, taking an early lead with a two-run single by first baseman Nick Wang that drove in runners on from a walk and HBP
  • In the home half of the frame, the Rams cut the Eagles' lead in half as Nick Flores doubled in Werchan, who had reached on a leadoff walk
  • The visitors added another run in the fourth inning, aided by a VCU error in the outfield
  • VCU collected four hits in the bottom of the seventh as Lee doubled and Richey followed with a single before Kirkpatrick and Jimenez moved the line with back-to-back singles to even the score at 3-3
  • A pair of Boston College hits put the go-ahead run in scoring position and the Eagles scratched across the winning run on a double play
  • VCU turned its fourth double play of the day to end the top of the ninth inning, but left Lee in scoring position with the final out of the weekend
 
UP NEXT:
VCU will continue its 12 game homestand at with a midweek game against William & Mary at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, March 5 at The Diamond.
