Live Updates From No. 23 Boston College Baseball's Series Opener Against No. 3 Georgia Tech

BRIGHTON, Mass. — The No. 23 Boston College Eagles (36-17, 17-10 ACC) baseball team begins its series with the No. 3 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (42-9, 22-5 ACC) on Thursday night.

The Eagles are looking to end the regular season on a high note after splitting its series with NJIT on Sunday. In the doubleheader, NJIT took the first game 8-7 and Boston College took the second game 6-3 to force the split.

The Yellow Jackets are looking to bounce back after a 12-9 midweek loss to Mercer on Tuesday night.

Both teams will make the postseason, however Boston College is still playing for seeding in the ACC Tournament and a potential hosting spot in NCAA Regionals.

The Eagles are currently in a two-way tie with Florida State for third place in the ACC standings. The Seminoles have the tie breaker which has placed Boston College in fourth with Miami and Wake Forest slightly behind. BC will be anywhere between No. 3 and No. 6 in the tournament next week.

As for hosting a regional, Boston College is on the outside looking in. The Eagles have been projected to be a 2-seed throughout the entire season and are sitting at No. 29 in RPI, but would have a case to get one of the last few hosting spots with a series win this weekend.
