CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — Boston College Baseball (9-10, 2-5 ACC) fell 5-1 to No. 17 North Carolina (17-5, 3-4 ACC) in game one of the weekend series on Friday night.
A.J. Colarusso started at pitcher for BC and controlled the game through four innings, striking out two with just one hit issued as he kept the Tar Heels off the board through his longest outing of the season.
UNC struck first in the fifth inning, courtesy of a solo home run driven into the gusting wind in center field, sneaking over the wall to make it a 1-0 game. Colarusso came back out for the sixth, and set down the heart of the Carolina order in a crucial 1-2-3 frame to keep it a one-run game in the sixth. The Tar Heels logged three hits in the seventh, bringing home two more to take a 3-0 lead.
Nick Wang entered to pinch hit in the seventh and got one back for BC, with a deep sacrifice fly to left field to make it a 3-1 game after seven full. North Carolina responded with a two-run home run in the eighth, going up 5-1, where the score would hold. Colarusso was issued the loss for BC (1-2) with Jake Knapp earning the win for UNC (4-0).
Game two between the Eagles and Tar Heels will start at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday.
