No. 9 Virginia Baseball Falls to Boston College 7-4 in ACC Opener

In a thrilling ACC baseball matchup, Boston College stunned No. 9 Virginia with a 7-4 comeback victory, marking their first win in Charlottesville since 2018. Virginia initially led 4-1, bolstered by strong pitching from Jay Woolfolk and a two-run homer from Eric Becker. However, the Eagles capitalized on a disastrous eighth inning for the Cavaliers, where they scored six runs, including a game-tying two-run homer from Josiah Ragsdale. Virginia's coach Brian O’Connor defended leaving reliever Matt Lanzendorfer on the mound despite his earlier dominance, but ultimately the decision backfired. The loss highlights Virginia's struggles to maintain leads, as they have now faced challenges in closing out games this season. Meanwhile, Boston College improved to 5-5, while Virginia dropped to 8-4 and 0-1 in the ACC.
