On Tuesday afternoon, Boston College baseball traveled to Amherst, MA to face off against the UMass Minutemen in the baseball Beanpot’s first round match-up. Despite going down 10-2 after just 2 innings, Birdball rallied all the way back and defeated UMass by a score of 13-12.
A common theme with this team has been scaring their fans early and winning against the odds, which is exactly what they did Tuesday afternoon. A slew of hits and Eagles errors allowed UMass to jump to an early 5-0 lead after the first inning, followed by another powerful second inning that resulted in a 10-2 lead for the Minutemen.
