BRIGHTON, Mass. — On Friday at 3 p.m. ET, No. 23 Boston College baseball will host Virginia Tech for the first matchup of a three-game conference series.

The first and last contests of the series are set to be played at Eddie Pellagrini Diamond in Harrington Athletics Village, but the penultimate game is the Eagles’ annual ALS Awareness Game, which is played at Fenway Park in dedication of former player Pete Frates, who was the driving force behind the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge before his passing in December 2019.

Over the week, the Eagles (24-11, 9-6 Atlantic Coast) won a pair of games, defeating UMass 11-1 in eight innings in the first round of the Baseball Beanpot on Tuesday and Dartmouth 13-3 in seven innings on Wednesday.

The Hokies (15-16, 6-9) have only won one conference series this season — against Duke in late March — and are entering the series on a one-game losing skid after dropping an 11-4 loss to Liberty at home on Tuesday.

As per usual, BC head coach Todd Interdonato will give lefty ace A.J. Colarusso (3-1, 2.88 ERA) the start on the mound, while Logan Eisenreich (0-1, 6.60 ERA) gets the nod for Virginia Tech.
