BRIGHTON, Mass. – Senior left-handed pitcher Dan Metzdorf (Burlington, Mass.) led the Boston College baseball team to a 5-0, series-opening win over No. 25 Duke at the Harrington Athletics Village on Friday evening. The Eagles evened their record at 22-22 overall and improved to 8-14 in the ACC behind Metzdorf's 8.1-shutout innings.
Metzdorf worked out of trouble in each of the first three innings as the Blue Devils (25-17, 11-11) posted an extra-base hit in each frame. Center fielder Kennie Taylor doubled in the first and tripled in the third, but was stranded in scoring position on both occasions.
