- Adams recorded his second save of the year in his 74th career appearance.
- Sophomore Jake Palomaki walked once and scored a run. He has reached base in 33 of the Eagles' 39 games.
- Junior Johnny Adams led the Eagles with a 2-for-4 day, scoring the other BC run. He has 18 hits in the last 13 games.
- Junior Michael Strem and sophomore Mitch Bigras drove in the two runs on the day.
KEY PLAYS
- The Eagles plated runs in the second and fifth while holding the Hokies off the board through the game.
- In the sixth, Virginia Tech loaded the bases with two outs, but Skogsbergh came in and got a foul pop up, which Sciortino caught, to get BC out of the jam.
HOW IT HAPPENED
- The Eagles got on the board in the second as Johnny Adams and senior Logan Hoggarth tallied back-to-back singles with one out and Bigras drove Adams in with a hard-hit chopper past the first baseman. Hoggarth landed on third, but with two down, a grounder to the second-base bag ended the inning.
- BC added a run in the fifth when Palomaki led off with his 28th walk of the season and Sciortino moved home over with a sac bunt. Strem plated him with a base hit to center.
- The Hokies loaded the bases in the sixth on a lead-off base hit and two walks with two outs. Skogsbergh got No. 9 hitter Joe Freiday Jr., who hit a home run on Friday, to foul out to end the inning.
- The BC defense was on display in the eighth as Skogsbergh gave up back-to-back singles to start the inning. After Sciortino caught a pop up on a failed bunt attempt for the first out, the righty battled back to a full count and got Matt Dauby to ground to third. Senior Joe Cronin stepped on the bag and fired across the mound to first for the inning-ending double play.
- In the top ninth, the winning run came to the plate with one out. Skogsbergh started things with a strikeout looking and Jesse Adams came on in relief. He got a line out to left before walking a batter. An error put two on, but Adams fielding a chopper off the mound and threw to first to end the game and force a rubber match.
