Boston College’s conference record dropped to 3-3, and the Eagles now sit at 11-8 overall while the Pack are 16-4.
Wolfpack starting pitching was strong throughout this series, and Ryan Marohn certainly set the tone in the opener on Friday. The junior lefty tossed 7. 0 innings of shutout ball, allowing just three hits, three walks, and a hit batter while striking out six.
Marohn improved to 3-0 on the season as the Pack captured the 4-2 victory. State scratched the first run of the game in the 4th inning. Mikey Ryan walked with one out and advanced a base on a Luke Nixon single.
Sherman Johnson loaded the bases on a single to left field, and Brayden Fraasman brought home Ryan on a sacrifice fly. The second run of the game for State came across in the next inning, with Rett Johnson leading off the bottom half of the frame with an infield single. Ty Head moved Rett up a bag with a sac bunt, and Dalton Bargo brought him home with a single down the right field line.
