CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - Cory Mazzoni threw 8.0 shutout innings and struck out 11 batters to lead NC State past the Boston College baseball team, 10-0, Friday afternoon at Eddie Pellagrini Diamond at Commander Shea Field.
Mazzoni allowed three hits and did not issue a walk. He only dealt with two base runners in his outing and faced the minimum number of batters through the first 5.2 innings.
Brett Williams went 2-for-6 for the Wolfpack (32-23, 14-15 ACC) with four RBIs. Pratt Maynard was 2-for-4 with a double and two RBIs while Tarran Senay and Danny Canela collected a pair of hits.
BC (17-32, 7-21) was led by freshman Tom Bourdon who had two hits. Junior Anthony Melchionda recorded a double. Sophomore Hunter Gordon threw 3.0 shutout innings in relief and allowed one hit. He threw 2.1 innings of no-hit baseball. Junior Kyle Prohovich and freshman Steve Green also threw scoreless frames.
NC State scored three runs in the first two innings before scoring five times in the third to put the game out of reach. Senay hit an RBI single to right in the first and then a Williams' single in the second drove in a pair of runs.
Harold Riggins led off the third and took a pitch on the elbow, then a Senay single put runners on the corners. Andrew Ciencin reached on an error that scored a run and then Canela followed with an RBI single. A bunt single loaded the bases and then Matt Bergquist hit a soft single over the shortstop for another run. Maynard hit a two-run single up the middle with two outs to cap the scoring.
Williams added his second two-run single of the game in the seventh to make it 10-0.
Boston College closes out the 2011 season on Saturday when it hosts NC State in the series finale at noon. Eight Eagle seniors will be honored prior to their final game.
