Boston College baseball dropped to 1-8 in ACC play after being swept by the Louisville Cardinals in the home conference opening series at Harrington Village. The Eagles let up 31 runs over the weekend, lost a game in extra innings, and were dominated on Sunday 15-1. While Louisville is the cream of the crop in conference now, the Eagles struggles, both offensively and defensively have led to this record.
