Boston College (31-14, 11-9 BIG EAST) opened the scoring by driving in seven runs in the second inning. After center fielder Brian Durkin reached base on an error and third baseman Eric Olson flied out, the Eagles scattered seven hits (5 singles, 2 doubles) off starter Randy Erwin (Jr., Miami , Fla./Southwest Miami) to go up 7-0. Eagles second baseman Mike Gambino led off the fourth with a home run and Langone scored on an error to push BC's lead to 9-0.
In the sixth, Rosado hit his first homer of the afternoon with two men on board to increase the margin to 12-0.
