Junior pitcher Andrew Karp (7-3) made his first weekend start of the season, moving to the rotation after nine midweek starts. Pitching for the second time this week (5.0 innings Tuesday vs. Stetson), Karp allowed a run on six hits with three walks and seven strikeouts. The Eagles stranded eight runners in Karp’s six innings.

Karp’s seven wins are the most in the ACC.

Steven Wells capped his stellar week 1-for-3 and reached base two times. In five games this week, Wells hit 14-for-17 and reached base via hit, walk or error in 22 of 24 plate appearances.

Reese Albert, Nick Derr (two) and Rhett Aplin also had hits in the game.

The Eagles struck first on a third inning single from second baseman Brian Dempsey. Boston College stranded multiple runners on base in three of the first four innings and Karp escaped a bases loaded jam in the fourth, forcing a fly out to Drew Mendoza at third base.

BC starter Brian Rapp (3-5) retired the first 11 hitters of the game before Aplin’s single in the fourth inning.

The Seminoles scored four runs on two hits in the fifth to take the lead for good. Mendoza walked and Wells singled before Albert singled to right field to tie the game at 1-1. Rapp balked to score Wells for a 2-1 FSU lead. Rapp tried to get the lead runner at the plate on Mike Salvatore’s sacrifice bunt, but Albert was safe for a 3-1 lead.

Aplin capped the fifth inning with his fourth sacrifice fly of the season.

Derr doubled off Rapp to start the seventh before the Eagles went to the bullpen for Thomas Lane. Derr moved to third on a passed ball by catcher Jake Goodreau and scored on Salvatore’s sacrifice fly.

Freshman Jonah Scolaro relieved Karp to start the seventh inning and earned his fourth save, pitching the final three innings. Scolaro struck out five straight hitters at one point and struck out the side in the eighth inning.

Albert was hit by a pitch in the top of the ninth and scored on Derr’s second double of the game to provide the final margin.

Scolaro forced three fly outs in the ninth inning to close the game.
