For BC, which snapped a seven-game losing streak, junior catcher Parker Landwehr (Baltimore, Md.) and junior second baseman Luke Gold (Ballston, N.Y.) each homered. Landwehr’s two-run home run in the sixth was the difference maker, while Gold added a solo shot in the seventh.
Junior center fielder Barry Walsh (Sterling, Mass.) added a 3-for-3 day with a RBI-triple and a run scored.
Junior right-hander Max Gieg (Lynn, Mass.) pitched three-hitless innings in the start for the Eagles (16-25). Gieg (3-1) walked two and struck out two. Freshman RHP Julian Tonghini (New Canaan, Conn.) got the save; walking one and striking out another to strand runners at the corners with a one-run lead in one-third of an inning.
