Live Updates for Boston College Baseball's Elimination Game vs. LIU in Athens Regional
At 12 p.m. ET, Boston College baseball will take on Long Island in Game 3 of the 2026 Athens Regional. It will be the first elimination game of the Regional, as the loser of the matchup will be sent home for good.
On Friday, in Game 1 of the Regional against third-seed Liberty, the second-seeded Eagles (36-22, 17-13 ACC) fumbled a 3-2 lead heading into the final inning, allowing the Flames to score two runs in the top of the ninth and claim a 4-3 victory.
After a rain delay postponed Game 2 to the following day, top-seeded Georgia — the No. 3 overall seed in the nation — finished its battering of the fourth-seeded Sharks (30-22, 26-7 Northeast) by a final score of 18-2 this morning, ultimately setting up Saturday’s matchups.
Following BC’s bout with LIU, the Bulldogs will take on Liberty at 5 p.m. for a spot in the Regional final, and the loser of that game will then play the winner of the previous one to determine the other team in the final.
Left-handed pitcher Tyler Mudd (4-4, 4.70 ERA) is getting the start for Boston College this afternoon, while Long Island is going with right-handed pitcher Justin DeCastro (7-2, 6.09 ERA).
