Tar Heels Score 9th Inning Run To Down Boston College 5-4 in Series Finale
Boston College dropped their series finale against UNC on Sunday 5-4 in a tight game. The Tar Heels won the game on a triple from Danny Serretti in the 9th inning to break up a 4-4 tie. The hit capped off a huge weekend for the shortstop, who also had five RBI's against BC on Friday. Joey Walsh took the loss in relief.
The game was a battle, as both teams delivered and took blows throughout the afternoon. The Eagles jumped out first when Sal Frelick scored on a double off the bat of Jack Cunningham. The Boston College first baseman had a huge last two days, and continues to build momentum at the plate.

Both teams traded runs until the fourth inning when UNC loaded the bases and scored three runs off reliever Max Gieg. But Yale transfer Alex Stiegler entered the game and pitched masterfully, throwing five innings of shut out ball that kept the Eagles in the game. BC rallied in the fifth with another big hit from Cunningham, and a sacrifice fly from third baseman Vince Cimini.

The score remained tied until the 9th, when UNC scored the go ahead run. Boston College had the lead runner in scoring position in the bottom half of the inning but couldn't bring him home.
With the loss, Boston College falls to 11-7 on the season. They resume play on Wednesday when they face off against Merrimack at Harrington Athletic Village at 3pm.
