Live Updates for No. 20 Boston College Baseball's Rubber Match at Clemson

No. 20 Boston College baseball and Clemson are set to play one last time this weekend with a rubber match on Sunday that is scheduled to begin at noon. The Eagles, who set a program for regular-season conference wins on Friday, are looking to capture their seventh ACC series win of the year.
On Friday, BC (35-15, 17-9 ACC) stormed past the Tigers (27-20, 7-16) 8-4 thanks to stellar pitching from A.J. Colarusso and Cesar Gonzalez. Clemson bounced back on Saturday, however, with a 14-4, run-rule victory that started off with an 11-run first inning for the hosts.
Sunday’s pitching matchup will feature left-hander Tyler Mudd (3-3, 4.62 ERA) for the Eagles against righty Aidan Knaak (2-5, 4.98 ERA) for the Tigers.
Here are the live updates for the series-deciding contest.
