What they’re saying

“This was our best week of the year. 5-0 week, Northeastern at home, UConn at home, ACC sweep. Like, you kidding me dude? That is the best week that I've had in my BC career.”

— Todd Interdonato, Head Coach

“I think that's kind of our thing, like once we start, we don't really stop. That's kind of what we do. And we were able to string a lot of at-bats together, obviously.”

— Carter Hendrickson, Player

“That was the biggest at-bat of the game, right? And I got to give Jack Housinger a ton of credit, he was like 'Dude, I like Wolff right here.' And I was like 'Alright, let's do it.' Kyle comes in, hadn't played the whole weekend, and just hammers a first-pitch fastball for a leadoff double. That was huge.”

— Todd Interdonato, Head Coach

What’s next

The Eagles will look to continue their hot streak as they prepare for their next ACC series against Miami.
