Read Time:2 Minute, 20 Second

GREENSBORO, N.C. – The Boston College baseball team lost to North Carolina A&T at War Memorial Stadium on Monday afternoon. The Eagles dropped to 5-6 on the season, while the Aggies improved to 5-6.

BC led 5-0 in the middle of the third after senior first baseman Jack Cunningham (South Riding, Va.) capped the Eagles’ scoring with a two-run home run. Redshirt-junior lefty Joey Walsh (Plymouth, Mass.) kept A&T off the board in the first two innings, but the game was turned over to the BC bullpen beginning in the bottom of the third.

The Aggies immediately cut the deficit to a run with a four-run third; initially loading the bases and plating all three runners on three wild pitches. Right fielder Camden Williamson made it a one-run game with a home run after the bases cleared.

North Carolina A&T registered its second four-spot of the day in the sixth. Left fielder Justin Rodriguez, who drove in the tying run on a RBI-double, stole third and scored on an errant throw down to the bag with the go-ahead run.
