Eagles Walked Off in Opener by NC State
April 14, 2022 | Baseball
RALEIGH, N.C. – The Boston College baseball team was walked off in the ninth inning of a 4-3 loss to North Carolina State at Doak Field on Thursday night. Wolfpack center fielder Devonte Brown delivered the game-winning run to the plate on a one-out, bases-loaded sacrifice-fly.
With two on and one out, BC right-hander Brendan Coffey (Saratoga Springs, N.Y.) nearly escaped the jam with a ground ball to short, but the ball was misplayed and everybody was safe. Coffey (1-2) took the loss in 1.2 innings of relief; having struck out three in his first inning of work.
The Eagles (15-19, 3-13 ACC) twice grounded into inning-ending double plays with the bases loaded, including the seventh inning.
BC senior right-hander Joe Mancini (Fairfield, Conn.) lasted seven innings in the start with a career-high 10 strikeouts. He allowed three runs, only the first two of which were earned in the first two innings, and surrendered just five hits and two walks.
For NC State (21-11, 8-7), right-hander Logan Whitaker was lifted after the fifth despite just one run against on five hits and a walk with seven strikeouts. Wolfpack pitchers combined for 12 strikeouts. Lefty closer Chris Villaman (1-1) got the win; striking out the one batter he faced with a runner aboard in the top of the ninth.
