No. 22 Boston College Baseball's Series Opener vs. NJIT Postponed
BRIGHTON, Mass. — Due to inclement weather, the first game of the series between Boston College and NJIT is postponed until Sunday.
It will be a doubleheader. Game 1 will start at noon ET and Game 2 will start approximately 50 minutes after the conclusion of the first game.
No. 22 Boston College baseball will host the NJIT Highlanders on Saturday evening for the first contest of a two-game weekend series. First pitch for the initial matchup at Harrington Athletics Village is scheduled for 5 p.m. ET.
The Eagles (35-16, 17-10 ACC), who are coming off a series loss at Clemson, boast an 18-3 home record this year, while NJIT (15-27-1, 6-15 AE) is 8-11 on the road.
BC has the fourth-best record in the ACC currently, which would give it an automatic bid to the conference tournament quarterfinals if the season ended now.
The Eagles close out the regular season next weekend at home with a trio of contests against No. 3 Georgia Tech, which could boost BC’s RPI massively heading into the postseason if it comes out of the series victorious.
