BRIGHTON, Mass.— The Boston College Eagles (12-8, 3-3 ACC) baseball team continues its five-game home stand with a midweek matchup against the UMass Lowell River Hawks (7-8) on Wednesday afternoon. 

The Eagles are coming off a 5-4 win over Sacred Heart on Tuesday. The victory was led by Eagles second baseman Ty Mainolfi who had three hits in his five plate appearances, batted in two runs, and crossed home plate once. The game marked Boston College’s home opener after its original home opener, which was slated for Feb. 24 against Merrimack, was postponed due to weather. 

On the other side, the River Hawks are coming off a series win against Pepperdine over the weekend. UMass Lowell won the first three games of the four-game set, 7-6 on Thursday, 7-4 in 10 innings on Friday, and 5-4 in the first game of the doubleheader on Saturday, but lost the finale 13-8 in the second game of the doubleheader on Saturday. 

The contest marks one of three games between the two teams this season. Boston College will travel to UMass Lowell on April 28 and they will play a final game at Harrington Athletics Village on May 12 which marks the last midweek of the season for Boston College. 

The last time these two teams met was for a two-game series last year from May 10-11, 2025. Boston College swept UMass Lowell on the road 8-3 and 5-0.
