BC received good starting pitching all weekend from Kevin Boggan, Terry Doyle, and Dan Houston, and had two dramatic victories; a come-from-behind, 5-4, walk-off win on Friday and a 17-inning, 4-3 victory on Saturday.
Boggan pitched seven innings, striking out seven batters, and surrendering two runs on Friday, while Doyle pitched nine innings on Saturday and struck out 12 batters.
Nate Jeanes pitched the last five and two-thirds innings on Saturday, collecting nine strikeouts, and Houston pitched six strong innings on Sunday afternoon as the Eagles completed the sweep.
If the starting pitching continues to be consistent, and BC can get a strong start from whomever takes the hill on Wednesday, then BC should be in a good position to win its second straight Beanpot.
BC's offense has come alive as of late as well and has been paced by Campbell, Ryan Hutchinson, and Ayers. Campbell, who collected eight hits over the weekend, leads the squad in batting average (among active players), hitting at a .338 clip. Ayers notched seven hits in the weekend series with Wake Forest, including going four-for-four in Sunday's series finale.
Northeastern is 11-2 in the month of April, coming off of a 2-1 weekend win over Georgia State and beating UMass 17-6 on Thursday afternoon at Friedman Field in Brookline.
"I don't know how they did, I know that they beat Georgia State on Friday, I'm not sure how they did yesterday, but they were on a nine-game winning streak and had been playing really good baseball," said BC coach Miko Aoki, "and it's going to be a challenge."
The Huskies were paced offensively by senior Dan Milano, who put the Huskies on the board in the first inning with a grand slam, which extended his school 19-game hitting streak.
Mike Tamsin, Frank Compagnone, and Tony DiCesare all collected three hits in the contest for the Huskies, and Compagnone and DiCesare each had three RBIs as well. Josh Porter leads the club with a .392 batting average and is joined by three other starters who are hitting well over the .300 mark for the season.
