The Boston College baseball team took two wins over BIG EAST foe, West Virginia, in a doubleheader, Saturday, May 8 in Morgantown, W.V. The Eagles (24-22, 10-7) emerged on top, 1-0, in game one then won the nightcap, 15-9, over the Mountaineers who fell to 18-25 and 8-14 in the league.
Game one featured a pitcher's duel between BC's Chris Lambert (Manchester, N.H.) and WVU's Zac Cline, who each allowed only two hits in 7.0 innings of work. Junior Drew Locke (Weymouth, Mass.) made up the difference in the game when he singled in Marco Albano (Arlington, Mass.), who reached on an error, for the game's only tally in the top of the sixth. For the game, Lambert fanned nine batters and gave up four walks while Cline struck out six and issued only one free pass.
The Eagles dissolved a 6-1 deficit after two innings of the nightcap by scoring in five of their next seven innings. Down 7-6 in the top of the fifth, BC put seven runs on the board in that stanza and never looked back. Five batters hit, including Josh DiScipio (Schenectady, N.Y.), who belted a two-run single and Jason Delaney (Hanson, Mass.), who whacked his seventh home run of the season. That was one of four hits for Delaney in the game and two of his game-high five RBI.
Kevin Shepard (Andover, Mass.) picked up the win, allowing seven runs on 10 hits in 5.0 innings while Jake Marsello earned a save. He relinquished two runs on three hits with four strikeouts.
BC and WVU meet Sunday, May 9 for a single game.
