Boston College Hits Five Home Runs In 10-5 Victory Over Maine

Eagles take care of business against the Black Bears with the long ball

Boston College baseball continued to find firepower throughout the lineup on Tuesday, as they hit five home runs to defeat Maine 10-5 at the Harrington Athletic Village. Luke Gold hit a go ahead two run home run in the bottom of the 7th to break a 5-5 tie, which was followed up by a blast from freshman Cameron Leary, his second of the afternoon. Cody Morissette also hit two home runs in the game, including a shot in the first inning, which was his ninth of his career. 

Freshman Joey Ryan got his first start of the season, and looked good throwing five innings, and allowing just a pair of runs, while striking out six Black Bears. Charlie Coon got the win, as he pitched three innings for the Eagles, allowing a run in three innings.

The power of Boston College has become a huge asset for the Eagles. With the win BC creeps into the top 10 nationally in total home runs hit. Gold is fifth in the country with five home runs, while Cody Morissette has three and Sal Frelick has four. 

With the win, Boston College improves to 9-2 on the season. They will begin their series with #10 Louisville on Friday, in what could already be a huge series for control of the ACC. The Eagles most likely will start Mason Pelio against the Cardinals.
