Friday afternoon was the perfect day to watch a game at Boston College's Harrington Athletics Village. The mid-afternoon sunshine pushed the temperature's mercury closer to 70 degrees and splashed both the baseball and softball fields in a stereotypical Boston sunshine. The vibrancy offered the backdrop to both teams' home games against ACC opponents in a sign that spring was finally settled after late march ushered it into New England.
It was the perfect day in Brighton, and it encapsulated the moment for both teams. On the softball diamond, a doubleheader against Syracuse renewed the two rival institutions while baseball hosted NC State in another key conference game with the added flair of a national television audience.
