The Eagles drew the 2-seed in the Athens Regional after putting up a 36-21 record in the regular season and ACC Tournament.
Boston College will play alongside 3-seed Liberty and 4-seed Long Island as well as host team Georgia which will be the 1-seed and is the No. 3 overall seed in the tournament.
Boston College has never met Liberty, Georgia or Long Island before this weekend. Overall, the Eagles are 25-25 in the NCAA Tournament.
“Just a really good baseball team,” said Boston College head coach Todd Interdonato on Liberty on Thursday. “The more I look at them, the more impressed I am with them… Their pitching is exceptional. I have an anticipation of who they're going to throw and I think that kid is one of the best arms we'll see this year.”
The winner of the Athens Regional will play the winner of the Starkville Regional in Supers. In that bracket, Mississippi State gained the No. 14 overall seed and is hosting Cincinnati (2-seed), Louisiana (3-seed), and Lipscomb (4-seed).
