May 11, 2025 | Baseball
Eagles will travel to California for final regular-season series starting Thursday
LOWELL, Mass. — Boston College Baseball (25-26, 10-17 ACC) shutout UMass Lowell (17-32, 8-13 America East) in the season series finale, winning 5-0 at LeLacheur Park on Sunday afternoon.
The Eagles opened the scoring in the opening frame, with Josiah Ragsdale reaching on a one-out single, and stealing his way to third base. Kyle Wolff walked, and with two outs, induced a rundown on a delayed steal, allowing Ragsdale to cross home before getting tagged out.
Brady Miller started for the Eagles and turned in three shutout innings out of the gate, striking out one with just three scattered hits and no walks. Miller exited after five scoreless innings, striking out two with just four hits and no free passes. John Kwiatkowski took over in the sixth and threw just nine pitches, facing four batters and stranding a runner at third to preserve the 1-0 BC lead. The Eagles added to their lead in the seventh, loading the bases for pinch-hitter Colin Larson. Larson delivered, driving a single through the right side to score two and make it 3-0. Gunnar Johnson added to the advantage in the eighth, making it 4-0 on a one-run single to center field.
Gavin Soares took over on the bump in the seventh and turned in two scoreless innings, facing the minimum with one punchout to send the 4-0 game to the ninth. Patrick Roche extended it to 5-0 on a bases-loaded groundout in the top of the ninth. Soares remained in for the bottom half and closed it out, earning the save (1) and securing the 5-0 Eagles win. Brady Miller improved to 4-1 in his freshman campaign, earning the win after firing five scoreless innings with two strikeouts.
Boston College will now prepare for their final weekend of the regular season, a road trip to California for a three-game conference series starting Thursday night.
