BC HIGHLIGHTS
- Junior right-handed starter Brian Rapp threw five scoreless, allowing just one hit and one walk and striking out eight to tie a career high. He did not give up the hit through 4.2 innings.
- Sophomore Gian Martellini was 2-for-4 to extend his career-long hit streak to 14 games – the longest of the season for any BC player and tied for sixth in BC record books – and has at least one knock in 39 of the 46 games played this season.Â
- Sophomore right-hander John Witkowski picked up his first career save, throwing the eighth and ninth, allowing one hit and striking out one. He did not walk a batter.
- Junior Jake Palomaki led the way at the plate for the Eagles with a 2-for-3 day, plating the go-ahead run in the fifth and walking once. He set the BC record for career walks in the first game of the day.
- Sophomore Jake Alu recorded a hit, run and a walk. He has a hit in 14 of the last 17 games.
- Junior lefty Carmen Giampetruzzi threw two scoreless innings of relief, allowing just one hit and striking out two. He also did not surrender a walk.
- Senior Michael Strem tallied his career ninth sacrifice fly, tying for ninth all-time in BC record books.
KEY PLAYS
- Knotted in a scoreless game, Palomaki scored junior Anthony Maselli from third on a bunt single in the fifth to give BC the first run of the game. The Eagles added one in the seventh and one in the eighth for insurance.
- Rapp, Giampetruzzi and Witkowski combined to allow just three hits on the day and keep the Bobcats off the scoreboard.
HOW IT HAPPENED
- The Eagles broke the scoreless tie in the fifth. Maselli drew a lead-off walk and stolen second to move into scoring position. Freshman Aaron Soucy struck out swinging but reached first on a wild pitch, moving Maselli to third. Palomaki laid a bunt down the first-base line to score Maselli and log an infield hit. Right hander Robbie Hitt got out of the inning with three straight outs.
- BC added a run in the seventh with RHP Mike Davis on the mound. With one down, junior Donovan Casey doubled to the corner in left and moved to third on a passed ball. Strem brought him home with a sac fly to center.
- The Eagles scored their final run in the eighth as Alu drew a four-pitch walk, moved to second on a passed ball and to third on a groundout. Junior Mitch Bigras chopped one to second and the throw home was not in time to get Alu at the plate.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
- The victory was the third shutout for the Eagles in 2017.
