Junior outfielder Jarett Mendoza hit three home runs in BC's opening doubleheader Saturday Feb. 12.

In the nightcap, Mendoza tied the game at 2-2 with his third home run of the day. In the eighth, he drove in Langone but the Eagles could not muster another run as the Cougars held on for the 4-3 win. Mendoza is currently batting .500 with a team-leading three home runs.
