Boston College Baseball Beats UConn 26-19 in Storrs, Securing Its 10th Win This Season
A high-scoring night at Elliot Ballpark
Boston College reached the 10-win mark Tuesday night, outlasting UConn 26-19 in a nine-inning game at Elliot Ballpark in Storrs, Connecticut. The result moved the Eagles to 10-6 overall, while UConn fell to 7-9.
The matchup turned into an extended, offense-driven contest that lasted four hours and 31 minutes. Boston College scored in seven of nine innings and finished with 26 runs on 19 hits, committing no errors. UConn matched the Eagles with 19 hits but also committed five errors, a factor that can extend innings and inflate scoring in games with frequent baserunners.

After UConn got on the board with three runs in the third, Boston College continued to stack multi-run frames, including four-run innings in the fourth, sixth and seventh.
UConn’s biggest push came in the seventh inning, when the Huskies posted eight runs and sent 13 batters to the plate. The surge narrowed the gap but did not flip the outcome, as Boston College added three more runs in the ninth and held on through the final outs.
