BC Claims Tightly-Fought Contest Over Rutgers
February 26, 2023 | Baseball
CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Boston College baseball team beat Rutgers, 6-4, at Shipyard Park on Sunday afternoon. The Eagles swept the weekend at the Swig And Swine Classic and moved to 5-1 with their fifth straight win, while the Scarlet Knights dropped to 2-4.
Each team led early with BC pushing across a run in the top of the first and Rutgers answering with a single run in each of its first two turns at bat. The Eagles scored twice in the third with RBI hits from junior second baseman Patrick Roche (Milton, Mass.) and sophomore third baseman Nick Wang (Newton, Mass.).
Sophomore right-handed pitcher Eric Schroeder (Ridgewood, N.J.) was the first reliever out of the BC bullpen with one on and nobody out in the third. He stranded the runner and retired nine of the first 11 batters he faced. Schroeder (1-0) got his first career win in four innings of work with two runs charged to his line on three hits and a walk with three strikeouts.
Freshman RHP Bobby Chicoine (Armonk, N.Y.) made his first career start and went two-plus innings. He gave up two runs on five hits and two walks with a pair of strikeouts. RHP Jake Marshall (0-1) took the loss in a three-inning start for the Scarlet Knights. He surrendered four runs, three earned, on eight hits and two walks with three strikeouts.
Graduate RHP Andrew Roman (Monson, Mass.) notched his first save in a three-inning appearance. He allowed two hits and struck out two.
Roche totaled three RBI in a 2-for-4 day with a double. Junior right fielder Travis Honeyman (Massapequa, N.Y.) went 3-for-4 with two runs and a walk. Junior first baseman Joe Vetrano (Shrub Oak, N.Y.) added a 2-for-5 day with a run and a RBI.
For Rutgers, third baseman Chris Brito drove in two runs, including a solo home run.
