The No. 24 Miami Hurricanes baseball team (12-3, 1-1 ACC) evened the three-game series against the Boston College Eagles with a win Saturday night at Mark Light Field, 5-3.
Miami left-hander Rob Evans (3-1) earned the win after delivering a strong start, allowing just one run on two hits over seven innings while striking out eight and walking three.
Boston College starter Tyler Mudd (1-2) was charged with the loss after surrendering five runs, four earned, on four hits across four innings. Miami’s ***** Bradley-Cooney recorded his first save of the season, tossing a scoreless ninth inning to secure the victory.
Miami opened the scoring in the first inning when Alex Sosa drove in Michael Torres, who came home after a fielding error by the Boston College left fielder Owen DeShazo.
Two batters later, Brylan West drew a bases-loaded walk to force in a run, and Dylan Dubovik followed with a sacrifice fly to right field that scored Sosa, giving Miami a 3-0 lead at the end of the first inning.
Boston College started to chip away in the next half inning, plating a run on an RBI ground out from Luke Gallo, moving the score 3-1.
But the Hurricanes’ offensive attack continued the next two frames, with Sosa and Dubovik notching solo home runs in the third and fourth innings, putting Miami further ahead, 5-1.
Boston College mounted a late push in the eighth inning, scoring two runs to cut into Miami’s lead. After the first two batters were retired on strikeouts, Julio Solier singled to right-center and Ty Mainolfi followed with a double down the left-field line to put runners on second and third.
Nick Wang then lined a two-run double to left-center, driving in both runners and trimming the deficit to two before Miami escaped the inning thanks to catcher Sosa being able to catch Wang trying to steal third base, putting a sharp end to the Eagles’ rally.
Miami handed the ball to ***** Bradley-Cooney in the ninth inning to replace left-hander Jake Dorn, and the right-hander closed the door by retiring Boston College in order. West added to the defensive effort with a diving stop to end the game, his second standout play in the field during game two of the series.
Miami and Boston College will wrap up the three-game series Sunday at 1 p.m. at Mark Light Field. The series finale will be televised on ACCNX and carried on the radio at WVUM 90.5 FM.
