Boston College Baseball Infielder Patrick Roche Hits Walk-Off For Falmouth, The Rundown: August 3, 2024
Boston College baseball infielder Patrick Roche hit a walk-off single on Friday night to give the Falmouth Commodores (15-21) a 9-8 victory over the Brewster Whitecaps (12-24) in ten innings.
The Whitecaps overcame a four-run deficit and scored five unanswered in the top of the eighth and ninth to give themselves a one-run advantage heading into the home half of the ninth. The Commodores, however, tied up the ballgame in the bottom of the ninth to send the contest into extras. In the bottom of the tenth with two runners in scoring position and one out, Roche drilled a base hit into center field to secure the win for Falmouth. Overall, Roche went 1-of-5 with two runs batted in as he also hit an RBI groundout in the sixth.
