Eighth Inning Proves Costly in Doubleheader Sweep
February 26, 2022 | Baseball
Eagles unable to hold pair of 1-0 leads to George Mason, USC Upstate.
SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Leading 1-0 in both games of a doubleheader, the Boston College baseball team twice fell late on Saturday; 4-1 to George Mason and 6-2 to USC Upstate. The combined 10 runs allowed came in the eighth inning of each games as the Eagles dropped to 2-4.
Â
In 17 total innings, BC pitchers combined for 15 shutout frames, but could not prevent the big inning. Freshman right-hander Eric Schroeder (Ridgewood, N.J.) turned in four-scoreless frames in his first career start in the opener against the Patriots (3-3). Fellow freshman righty Sean Hard (Mahwah, N.J.) tossed three-shutout frames in the start against the Spartans (5-1), but was lifted after needing 60 pitches to get through three; leaving two runners in scoring position in the second and the bases loaded in the third.
Â
Sophomore right-hander John West (Shrewsbury, Mass.) came on in relief of Hard and threw four zeroes on the scoreboard. He ran into trouble in the eighth as a single and a walk set the table. West (0-1) was lifted with two in scoring position and one out and both runs came in on an error a batter later as he was charged with the loss.
Â
At the plate, Boston College was just 4-for-23 with runners in scoring position and 6-for-33 with runners on base. Sophomore left fielder Travis Honeyman (Massapequa, N.Y.) went 4-for-5 in game two.
