Box Score
ELON, N.C. -- The Elon Phoenix baseball team saw the Boston College Eagles rally for five runs in the top of the eighth inning as the maroon and gold dropped a 7-6 decision to its ACC foe on Saturday afternoon.

After falling behind 2-0, the Phoenix (1-1) got on the board in the fourth inning when Alex Swim singled home Sebastian Gomez who had led the inning off with a walk and stolen base.

Elon grabbed a 3-2 lead two innings later when, with Blaine Bower and Gomez aboard, Swim tripled to left-center.  The Phoenix tacked on another run as Swim scored on a Ryan Kinsella sac fly.  The lead stretched to 6-2 in the seventh on a Gomez RBI single and a RBI groundout by Swim.

The Eagles (1-1) struck back in the eighth, plating five runs on three hits.  The inning began with an Elon error that allowed Joe Cronin to reach base.  After a single off the bat of Matt McGovern put runners on the corners, Tom Bourdon singled home Cronin.  A fielder's choice with the bases loaded scored the second run of the frame and left runners on the corners.  Following a strikeout, a wild pitch scored a run to make it 6-5.  Geoffrey Murphy's triple to right-center tied the game at six and a passed ball then let Murphy come in with the go-ahead tally.

Gomez began the last of the ninth with a single and headed to second on a sacrifice bunt before Tyler Hinchliffe retired the next two hitters to end the game.

For the second straight day Gomez banged out three hits as he finished the day 3-for-3 with two runs scored and one RBI.  Swim drove in four runs during his 2-for-4 performance.  Antonio Alvarez also added a two-hit day at the plate for the Phoenix.

Boston College was led by a two-RBI day from Travis Ferrick.

Spencer Medick (0-1) took the loss for Elon after giving up five runs (two earned) on three hits in 1.2 innings out of the pen.  Starter Kyle Webb struck out six in six innings and was charged with two runs on six hits.

BC's Andrew Chin (1-0) tossed 1.1 shutout innings, allowing one hit, to pick up the victory.  Hinchliffe earned his first save of the year with another 1.1 scoreless frames.

Elon is scheduled to conclude the Country Inn and Suites Elon Invitational with a 3 p.m. game against VCU.
