After scoring 26 runs against UConn, the Boston College baseball team will face its second ACC opponent of the season, taking on No. 10 NC State in a weekend series. The Eagles are coming off a series win against No. 24 Miami and will look to continue their strong offensive performances against the highly-ranked Wolfpack.

Why it matters

This weekend series provides an early test for the Boston College baseball team as they look to establish themselves as a contender in the ACC. A series win against a top-10 ranked opponent would be a major boost for the Eagles' season and NCAA tournament aspirations.

The details

The Eagles will open the series on Friday, looking to replicate their recent offensive outbursts. In their last game, BC scored 26 runs against UConn, led by shortstop Julio Solier's three hits and four runs.
