UVA Baseball: ‘Hoos bullpen blows late lead in 7-4 loss to Boston College

Boston College scored five runs in the eighth off the UVA bullpen, wasting a good outing from starter Jay Woolfolk in a 7-4 loss on Friday night at The Dish.

Woolfolk (1-0, 2.37 ERA) held BC (5-5, 1-0 ACC) to two runs, one earned, on four hits in five and a third innings, striking out four and walking two.

Woolfolk left in the sixth with a 4-2 lead, powered by a two-run homer in the fourth off the bat of shortstop Eric Becker, who was 2-for-5 on the day.

Lefty reliever Matt Lanzendorfer gave up a game-tying two-run shot to BC leadoff man Josiah Ragsdale in the top of the eighth, before being lifted for closer Ryan Osinski.

Osinski (0-2, 3.72 ERA) was tagged for three runs on three hits in the eighth – a tie-breaking two-run single from second baseman Vince Cimini and an RBI single from rightfielder Jack Toomey.

Virginia (8-4, 0-1 ACC) went down in order in the eighth, and didn’t get much going in the ninth – just a two-out single from first baseman Chris Arroyo, who was 3-for-5 on the day with an RBI triple in the third.

Henry Ford flew out to center to end it.
