Boston College Baseball Falls to Maine in Extra Innings
The Boston College Eagles (22-24, 9-15 ACC) baseball team suffered a midweek loss to the Maine Black Bears (19-22, 12-6 AE) 5-4 on Wednesday evening.
The Black Bears put the first run of the day on the board in the top of the second inning on an RBI single by designated hitter Caleb Vacchiano.
Boston College quickly responded as the team went in front 2-1 in the home half of the inning on a two-run home run by catcher Beck Milner.
Maine battled back and scored three unanswered runs in the next two innings. The first two came off a two-run home run by catcher Dean O'Neill in the third and the final run in the stretch was scored on a solo home run by left fielder Payton Whitehead in the fourth to put the Black Bears back on top 4-2.
The Eagles chipped away at their deficit and got back within one run in the fifth on a sacrifice fly by third baseman Patrick Roche and knotted the game at 4 in the sixth on an RBI single by Milner.
