BC Loses Extra-Inning Affair to No. 18 Louisville

BRIGHTON, Mass. – The Boston College baseball team came from three runs down only to fall in extras to No. 18 Louisville, 10-6, at the Harrington Athletics Village on Saturday afternoon. The first three Cardinals reached in the top of the 11^th as left fielder Cameron Masterman delivered the go-ahead run with a base hit through the right side.

Junior second baseman Luke Gold (Ballston, N.Y.) hit a game-tying, two-run home run to cap the Boston College (9-13, 1-7 ACC) seventh. The Louisville (18-5, 5-0) responded by setting down 10 consecutive Eagles to get the Cardinals to the plate in the 11^th.

BC turned to freshman right-hander Eric Schroeder (Ridgewood, N.J.) after graduate RHP Brendan Coffey (Saratoga Springs, N.Y.) struck out three in three-scoreless innings of work. The Cardinals set the table with a pair of singles that put runners on the corners before Masterman's RBI-single.

Schroder (0-4) took the loss in one-third of an inning as he allowed three runs on three hits. Freshman RHP Sean Hard (Mahwah, N.J.) struck out five in a four-inning start with a first-inning run charged to his line.

Righty Jared Poland went six innings for Louisville with four runs against on seven hits and a walk to go with four strikeouts. Lefty Michael Prosecky (1-0) got the win for the Cardinals.

BC sophomore first baseman Joe Vetrano (Shrub Oak, N.Y.) hit a two-run home run in a three-run fourth inning. UL catcher Dalton Rushing answered in the fifth with a go-ahead three-run homer as the Cardinals plated four.
