BC struggling with 9-7 Sacred Heart right now after losing to Northeastern (good team) yesterday.

Seeing the camera for the first time at BC… not great. Hopefully it's better for a conference series.

THE MATCHUP: SERIES AGAINST BOSTON COLLEGE
NC State travels to Boston College this weekend for the first time since 2021. The Wolfpack holds a 33-16 advantage in the all-time series against the Eagles. Other notes on this weekend's matchup at Harrington Athletics Village:

The programs first met in 2003 at Doak Field with the Wolfpack earning a 4-3 victory.
In 2006, once Boston College joined the ACC, the two teams faced each other for the first ACC weekend series of the season. NC State swept the Eagles in the three-game series in Raleigh.
In 2021, the teams met in Newton, Massachusetts (April 9-11). The Wolfpack swept the Eagles in the three-game series, outscoring Boston College 32-9 in the series.
The teams last faced each other at Doak Field in 2022 (April 14-15). The Wolfpack swept the Eagles in the three-game series, walking off Boston College twice for the 3-0 weekend.
The last time NC State lost the series against the Eagles was in 2017 (April 22-23) after Boston College won all three matchups.
NC State has won six straight games against Boston College with its last loss coming on April 7, 2019, at Harrington Athletics Village. NC State has won eight of its last 10 and 11 of its last 13 games against Boston College.

SCOUTING BOSTON COLLEGE
Boston College (15-4, 4-2 ACC) has had a hot start to its 2023 campaign, winning all four of its weekend series to open the season. The Eagles have also impressed in midweek action, earning a 7-6 victory in Knoxville over then-No. 2 Tennessee. Despite dropping the opening game of each of its first two ACC weekend series, the Eagles responded with back-to-back wins to clinch road series wins at Virginia Tech and Florida State. Boston College is 1-1 this week after playing a pair of local midweek matchups against Northeastern (L, 6-2) and Sacred Heart (W, 8-7). This weekend's series at Harrington Athletics Village will mark Boston College's first home weekend series of the season. At the plate, Barry Walsh leads the Eagles with a .359 batting average and 23 total hits. Joe Vetrano and Cameron Leary pace Boston College with six homers apiece. On the mound, Chris Flynn holds a perfect 5-0 record with a 0.91 ERA. Flynn was named the ACC Pitcher of the Week this past week after tossing a BC career-high seven innings while striking out nine batters with just one walk.

Not everyday you see a top-20 team whose two starters and closer are all transfers from D-III. Talk about combing through the portal.

Very surprising start for them. Hopefully they come back to earth this weekend. Seem to have nothing but RH arms so a big weekend from Nixon, Cozart and other LH bats hopefully. Soles back? Maybe we see some Dom at bats....

I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

It's not a sweep em or else weekend but it would bring us back above .500 in the conference

Whitaker very sharp early
DrummerboyWolf

Top of the 2nd Greene grounds out to third and Marcy hits a bullet through the middle but the shortstop is right behind the bag to catch the line drive.

Trice with a single to left
Peebles with a walk. Both advance on a wild pitch.
Serrano strikes out on a pitch around his eyes.

No score after 1 1/2.

another tough start.

gifted an error in the 1st. groover missed a homerun/extra bases by a couple feet (great play by their RF). caught stealing on what looked to be a failed hit and run.

marcy hits the balls on the screws, right at someone. get 2 in scoring position in the 2nd with 2 outs and ends with a K.

gotta capitalize on some of these.

1-2-3 for Whitaker in the bottom of 2nd.

BC with some clutch 2 out hitting. Tough luck for Whitaker, but gotta bury that pitch better.

3-0 BC after 3

BC gets a one out infield single, a strikeout, then a HBP and a 3 run dinger. BC up 3-0 after 3.

Cozart with a double to lead off. Two infield outs brings him home. Trice flies out to end the inning. 3-1 going to the bottom of the 4th.

pretty standard whitaker start so far. looks very sharp/dominant, then a couple mistakes that costs him.

Eagles plate a run after a leadoff double and a two out single. 4-1 BC as they go to the 5th.

Trying not to get discouraged as I know we have started slow the past couple years but this is getting ridiculous. Every game is the exact same. Can't hit with RISP and can't put away an inning with 2 outs.

1-2-3 for the Pack. Halfway through and it's 4-1.

fair points for sure. BC has all 4 runs with 2 outs. gotta be better in those situations.

and maybe our offense is just a smidge overrated? peyton green is struggling. parker nolan isn't great in league play. Trice isn't great. Eli and Peebles are freshmen so their ups and downs are expected. Soles and Candeleria being out hurts.

The book has been written on Green. If you pitch him on the outer half it is almost a guaranteed out.

yup his next backside base hit might be hit 1st.

easy adjustment to make, if he puts in the work. will go from a good hitter to a great hitter pretty quick if he does

another inning of missed opportunities. serrano looked lost up there (and has most of the day) and pilolli struck out as well. and of course, trice struck out too

We desperately need Candelaria and Soles to get back healthy. No offense to Cozart, but he's our best bat in the lineup right now, and that won't cut it.

not sure why Nixon didn't get that pinch hit chance over Dom P. He has hit the ball well his last few opportunities. and not to mention only 2 Ks in 17 ABs
