Boston College Takes Top-25 Series From FSU
March 19, 2023 | Baseball
Eagles start ACC play 4-2 behind 8-2 win on Sunday.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – No. 24 Boston College baseball took its series at No. 21 Florida State with an 8-2 victory on Sunday at Dick Howser Stadium. The Eagles are 14-3 for the first time in program history and 4-2 in the ACC for the first time since joining the league.
Â
The series win was the second in BC's last three trips to FSU, starting in 2019.
Â
The Eagles overcame a brief deficit with the Seminoles plating the first run of the day in the bottom of the first on a passed ball with runners on the corners. BC answered immediately with two runs in the second and never looked back.
Â
Junior right-hander John West (Shrewsbury, Mass.) went four innings in the start for Boston College. He allowed one unearned run on three hits and two walks with five strikeouts in a no-decision. Graduate RHP Henry Leake (Burbank, Calif.) came on for four-shutout innings of relief. Leake (2-1) struck out seven and scattered five hits with no walks.
Â
RHP Carson Montgomery (0-1) took the loss in a 2.2-inning start for the Seminoles. He gave up two runs, one earned, on three hits and three walks with two strikeouts.
Â
For BC, senior shortstop Vince Cimini (Scranton, Pa.) and junior right fielder Travis Honeyman (Massapequa, N.Y.) each collected two hits.
