BC Outpaced in ACC Opener at No. 10 Virginia Tech
March 10, 2023 | Baseball
BLACKSBURG, Va. – A seven-run third inning put an end to the Boston College baseball team's 10-game win streak as it fell to No. 10 Virginia Tech, 13-3, in its ACC opener at English Field on Friday afternoon. The Eagles fell to 10-2, while the Hokies improved to 12-2.
Â
BC grabbed an early lead in the first on a solo home run by junior first baseman Joe Vetrano (Shrub Oak, N.Y.). Virginia Tech answered with a game-tying home run in the second and three home runs, totaling seven runs, in the third.
Â
Third baseman Christian DeMartini hit a go-ahead, three-run home run in the third and finished the day 2-for-4. Right fielder Carson Jones added a three-run shot of his own in the same inning.
Â
Right-hander Griffin Green lasted 4.1 innings in the start for the Hokies. He allowed two runs on two hits and two walks with five strikeouts. Lefty Henry Weyker (2-0) entered with the bases loaded and one out in the fifth and limited the damage to one inherited runner scoring on a sacrifice-fly. He gave up just one hit and issued one walk in 3.2 innings of relief to get the win.
Â
For Boston College, junior John West (Shrewsbury, Mass.) gave up all eight runs on long balls in a three-inning start. He struck out three, walked three and surrendered six hits.
