Read Time:1 Minute, 41 Second

BRIGHTON, Mass. – The Boston College baseball team beat Bryant, 5-1, at the Harrington Athletics Village on Tuesday night. The Eagles moved to 18-28 on the season, while the Bulldogs dropped to 21-21.

BC scored two runs on a base hit off the bat of graduate left fielder Rafe Chaumette (Sugar Land, Texas) and led the rest of the way. Bryant scored in the top of the sixth to cut the lead in half before the Eagles got the run back on a double into the left-field corner by junior center fielder Barry Walsh (Sterling, Mass.).

Junior right-hander Max Gieg (Lynn, Mass.) started and struck out the side in the first. He was lifted immediately after a line drive deflected off his arm in the second. Gieg (4-1) still earned the win in a scheduled short start; tossing 1.1 innings with no base runners allowed.

The Eagles used seven pitchers in the game, combining for 14 strikeouts. Sophomore RHP John West (Shrewsbury, Mass.) was the first BC reliever of the night and he struck out four in 2.2 innings of work.
