WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Tonight's baseball game between Boston College and Wake Forest has been postponed due to severe weather in the Winston-Salem area. A doubleheader has been scheduled for Saturday at the Wake Forest Baseball Park with games at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m.
This marks the fourth time that inclement weather has played a factor in a Boston College weekend series. Saturday doubleheaders had to be played in Chestnut Hill the last two weekends against NC State and Clemson. In mid-March, only the Friday night game at Georgia Tech was played due to rain.
Sunday's game scheduled for 1 p.m. remains unchanged.
BILL HASS ON THE ACC: SANCHEZ 'A DYNAMIC PART' OF SUCCESS FOR BC BASEBALL
Bill Hass from theACC.com took time to talk to junior catcher Tony Sanchez on Thursday to discuss his and the team's performance so far this season. Below is an excerpt from the story and the entire feature can be read by clicking here.
Tony Sanchez has gotten used to the Northeast snow, but he's still not quite used to hitting home runs in bunches.
Sanchez took a long route, in miles, to play ACC baseball. A native of Miami, he wound up at the league's most northern school, Boston College. The junior catcher has anchored the Eagles' lineup this season and helped them to a 20-11 overall record and 7-6 mark in the ACC as they began a weekend series at Wake Forest.
He leads the ACC with 12 home runs, six of which have come in league play. He finds his total almost shocking.
"I don't know," he said by way of explanation. "I always tell myself when I'm up there to look for my one pitch - you're going to get your pitch once an at-bat - and I try to do the most with that pitch as I can.
"I'm not thinking about hitting home runs all the time, I'm just trying to stay quiet, get up the middle and sometimes I just get some bounce on the ball and that happens by accident.
"I'm more surprised than anybody. I never thought of myself as a power guy; more of a line-drive doubles guy. It's been a nice surprise. I'll keep the same mindset and see what happens."
