• The Eagles held a lead in both losses to the Irish.• BC's two midweek contests were canceled due to

opponents' need to makeup conference games.• The Eagles have not won a one-run games this season,

falling to 0-6 after the two defeats over the weekend.• Behind the outstanding pitching of junior LHP Dan

EAGLES OF NOTE • The Eagles are tied for third on the program's single-season stolen base list. BC has logged 83 on the season, tied

for 12th in the country and ranked second in the ACC. The top spot is owned by the 2005 and 2006 teams, which recorded 113 steals each.

• Freshman OF Chris Galland stole two bases on the weekend at Notre Dame to move into first place on the Eagles' single-season records list. In his first-year campaign, he has swiped 28 bags and counting. He leads ACC and is tied for fifth in the nation. He was caught stealing for the first time on April 17 against Rhode Island to break up his perfect streak. He is also the first BC player to go a perfect 20-for-20. Galland is seventh in the ACC with a .329 batting average and has reached base safely in the last 18 games, tying for the longest streak this season.

• Senior INF Jake Palomaki has reached base in 39 of the Eagles’ 43 games this season with a hit in 30 of them. His nine-game hit streak (March 2-16) was the longest of the season for BC. He has a .322 batting average, 11th in the ACC and his 58 hits tied for seventh sixth. His 146 career walks is first in BC record books, as he topped the list in three years.

• Sophomore OF Dante Baldelli is 17-for-19 on the stolen-base path, tying for 10th on BC's single-season record list. He is fifth in the ACC.

• Senior RHP Brian Rapp's .196 opponent batting clip this season is currently tied for the lowest in BC record books. • Sophomore OF Joe Suozzi walked onto the BC baseball team. He made his first career start on April 7 against

Pittsburgh and recorded his first career hit and RBI. In 15 starts in right, he has logged 16 hits, 13 runs, five RBIs, four doubles and his first career home run against Florida State (April 20). He tallied a career-high three hits at Notre Dame on April 29.

• Sophomore INF Brian Dempsey logged three walks and recorded two sacrifice hits at Notre Dame on Sunday. With 12 sacrifice hits on the season, he is tied second in BC single-season record books and his 19 career sacs are tied for seventh all-time. He has reached base in 38 of the Eagles’ 43 games this season. He tied a career-long, six-game hit streak from March 29 to April 7 that included eight hits and two RBIs.

• Junior RHP Thomas Lane has inherited 28 runners in his team-leading 26 appearances out of the bullpen. Just four have scored and all between April 13-22. He is second on the bullpen staff with 26 Ks and has the lowest opponent batting average at .166.

• Junior LHP Dan Metzdorf tied a career high with eight innings pitched in his shutout start on Saturday at Notre Dame, allowing just two hits and two walks while striking out three, collecting his first win of the season. He retired the first seven batters he faced and 17 of 18 through the seven innings. He did not allow a walk until the seventh and threw 24 straight first-pitch strikes and 25 of 26 to batters on the day. In four starts from March 24 to April 13 - 27.2 innings - Metzdorf struck out 39 batters. In the series-clinching win against Virginia Tech on March 24, he struck out a career-high 13 over eight innings. It was the first time in 11 years a BC pitcher recorded 13 Ks.

• Metzdorf and Lane combined for the first BC two-hitter since March 25, 2017 in a 1-0 loss to No. 6 Clemson when Metzdorf, junior RHP John Witkowski, senior LHP Carmen Giampetruzzi and 2017 20th-round draft pick RHP Donovan Casey completed the feat.

• Junior RHP Jacob Stevens now owns the top spot in BC record books with 41 career starts. He recorded his 200th career strikeout on Friday at Notre Dame, which ranks seventh all-time at BC.

EAGLES HOST MILITARY APPRECIATION GAME FOR SIXTH TIME• Boston College hosts its Sixth Annual Military Appreciation Game on Saturday, May 5 against Louisville.• Teaming up with Wounded Warrior Project and Home Base, the Eagles will honor current and former U.S. military

members. Local veterans will be part of the game, which is sponsored by Boston's Sweet Cheeks.• BC will wear its specially-designed Under Armour military appreciation uniforms, the third edition of the Eagles’

kits. They debuted this year’s new look on March 23 in a 7-4 victory over Virginia Tech. • On Thursday, May 3, local military veterans participated in a softball game with the baseball team at Harrington

Athletics Village. Jeremiah Pauley, an 11-year U.S. Army veteran, spoke to the Eagles and veterans after the softball game. They also participated in a "Backpack Build," preparing bags filled with essential care and comfort items designed to make a hospital stay more comfortable. BC alumni will deliver the backpacks to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., during an annual visit at the end of the month.

EAGLES RETURN TO FENWAY TO HONOR FRATES• The Boston College baseball team hosted the Seventh Annual ALS Awareness Game at Fenway Park on April 21. • The annual game honors former captain Pete Frates ‘07, who was diagnosed with ALS in March 2012.• The 5,433 fans in attendance set an ALS Awareness Game attendance record, topping last year's 3,603. • Ticket proceeds benefitted the Pete Frates Home Health Initiative, which is a pilot program of the ALS Association,

working with its Massachusetts Chapter, to provide in-home caregiving assistance for individuals living with ALS in Massachusetts who cannot otherwise pay for services.

• Tickets also included admission to the first game - Xaverian Brothers High School against St. John’s Prep at 10:30 a.m. Frates is a St. John’s Prep alum and the school named the baseball field in his honor. Sophomore OF Jacob Yish also attended St. John’s, as did Frates’ brother, Andrew, who is now the junior varsity baseball coach.

• The Frates family – Pete, wife Julie and daughter Lucy, brother Andrew and parents John and Nancy – were on the field for the pre-game ceremonies.

• Before the start of the game, Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Last summer, Governor Baker signed legislation to recognize and honor the contributions of Frates and his family and raise awareness and resources for those battling ALS. Governor Baker, in accordance with the new statute, proclaimed the first week of August as the annual Ice Bucket Challenge Week.

• It was the second straight year the Eagles played the annual game five miles from The Heights after defeating NC State, 8-3, in 2017.

• Each year since Frates’ diagnosis, the Eagles have held an ALS Awareness Game on their home field. In each of the last six seasons, over 2,000 fans have been in attendance to show their support for a cause very close to the BC community’s heart. In 2016, Frates’ No. 3 was retired and in 2015, the largest crowd in Shea Field history, 3,033 fans, attended the Eagles’ ALS game against Georgia Tech.

• BC has won four times when playing in the Annual ALS Awareness Game (2017, 16, 15, 12). • A Beverly, Mass., native, Frates played in the outfield for the Maroon and Gold from 2004-07. A captain his senior

year, he finished his BC career with 107 starts, a .228 average, 88 hits, 56 RBIs, 11 home runs and 34 stolen bases.• To learn more about Frates, visit www.petefrates.com.

CAN'T CATCH CHRIS• With 28 stolen bases in his first year, freshman OF Chris Galland is first in the ACC, tied for fifth in the nation and

broke the Boston College single-season record.• He was caught stealing for the first time on April 17 against Rhode Island to break up his perfect streak. He is the

only player in the top 20 in the nation to be caught just once. • The Sudbury, Mass., native is also the first BC player to go a perfect 20-for-20 on the stolen-base path. • Jared McGuire (2004-07) held the previous BC record, stealing 27 bases in 2005.• Galland's 0.67 stolen bases/game is first in conference and seventh nationally. • He recorded a career-long, eight-game hit streak from April 4-13. It included 12 hits, seven runs and 10 stolen bases.• He has currently reached base in 18 straight games, tying junior C Gian Martellini for the longest on-base streak

of the season for BC.• He has stolen multiple bases seven times and his three swipes against Niagara on March 2 was the first multiple-

steal game for BC in 2018. It was the first time an Eagle stole three since March 5, 2017 (Jake Alu vs. Villanova).• Galland leads the Eagles and is eighth in the ACC with a .333 batting average. • He hit back-to-back RBI triples in the doubleheader at No. 22 NC State on March 10.

MAK AT THE PLATE• Senior INF Jake Palomaki is second on the Eagles with a .322 batting average, 11th in the ACC.• His nine-game hit streak was the longest for BC this season. From March 2 to March 16, he racked up 21 hits, 10

runs, eight RBIs, four walks and five stolen bases.• Palomaki has 16 multiple-hit games and eight multiple-RBI games, both tied for the team lead. • He has reached base safely in 39 of the 43 games in 2018 with a hit in 30 of them.• In the ACC, the Kennesaw, Ga., native is tied for third with 13 doubles, tied for sixth with 16 stolen base and tied for

seventh with 58 hits. He is fourth in the league for toughest to strikeout (10.6).• Palomaki broke the Boston College all-time walks record in just three years and he continues to add to the total,

which is currently 146. His 46 walks in 2015 ranks first on the single-season list, 42 in 2016 is second and his 31 in 2017 tied for 10th.

• He has reached base safely 365 times in his BC career, second all-time. His .425 career on-base percentage is sixth, the 57 career stolen bases are second, his 19 sacrifice hits are tied for seventh and his 148 runs scored are tied for fourth.

• Palomaki - along with junior UT Jake Alu - tallied two hits in the same inning this season, a feat that had not been accomplished in over two years. Palomaki singled to start the game and had an RBI base hit in the first against Wofford (March 7). Three Eagles completed the feat in the win over Maine on May 12, 2015.

RUN AT THE RECORD BOOKS• Check out where some of the Eagles - including the team - rank in BC record books.

SINGLE SEASON

CAREER

METZY MAKES WAVES• Junior LHP Dan Metzdorf's four starts were stellar. From March 24 to April 13, he struck out 39 over 27.2 innings.• He was named Co-Atlantic Coast Conference Pitcher of the Week on March 26.• The left-hander struck out a career-high 13 in the series-clinching victory over Virginia Tech on March 24.• Metzdorf tied a career high with eight innings pitched. He allowed just two singles and one run. He did not walk

any of the 28 batters faced. • When he left the game, the Eagles led, 2-1. After the Hokies tied the game in the top of the ninth, BC won on a walk-

off grand slam to earn its first ACC series win of the 2018 season.• Terry Doyle (2005-08) was the last BC pitcher to record 13 strikeouts, doing so against Wake Forest on April 21,

2007 in a 4-3 victory.• The weekly honor was the first for Metzdorf and the second for the Eagles this season. Senior RHP Brian Rapp

collected the accolades after the first week of the season.• Metzdorf followed the performance by striking out nine over a 4.2-inning start at No. 12 Clemson on March 30 and

then eight over eight innings in a no-decision against Pittsburgh on April 7. He exited again with the lead, but the Panthers tied it and won in 13 innings. At Clemson, he allowed four scores in the first to the Tigers, but Metzdorf completed his outing without surrendering another run. He sat down seven of the final eight batters he faced by way of the K.

• On April 13 against Wake Forest, the southpaw gave up two first-inning runs before shutting down Demon Deacons for the remainder of his seven-inning start. He struck out nine and walked just one.

• On April 28, the lefty tied a career high with eight innings pitched in his shutout start, allowing just two hits and two walks while striking out three. He collected his first win of the season, retiring the first seven batters he faced and 17 of 18 through the seven innings. He did not allow a walk until the seventh and threw 24 straight first-pitch strikes and 25 of 26 to batters on the day.

LAST TIME OUT VS. LOUISVILLE• The top-ranked Cardinals swept the Eagles in Louisville in 2017 as BC is still looking for a win at UL.• It started on March 17 with a 6-0 victory. In a pitchers' duel, Louisville scored two in the fifth to strike first. It would

be all the Cardinals would need, but they added three in the seventh and one in the eighth to seal the victory. UL starter LHP Brendan McKay did not give up a run in his seven-inning start while striking out 12. Current junior RHP Jacob Stevens went six innings, allowed four hits, two runs, two walks and he struck out four. Senior 1B Mitch Bigras had two of the Eagles' five hits, leading the way with a 2-for-3 day.

• BC dropped a 6-4 decision the following day to give the Cardinals the series clincher. Training by six, the Eagles scored one run in the eighth and three in the ninth to cut the Cardinals' lead to two, but with two on and no outs in the ninth, closer RHP Lincoln Henzman recorded back-to-back strikeouts and UL catcher Colby Fitch caught Bigras stealing to end the game. Junior C Gian Martellini drove in two runs – both in the ninth – on a 1-for-3 day. Senior RHP Brian Rapp threw 5.1 innings of relief, allowing just two hits, two runs and two walks while striking out four.

• The Cardinals took the finale, 5-3. With the game tied at two, Louisville plated a run in the sixth inning off two BC errors. Junior LHP Dan Metzdorf allowed just one earned run over a six-inning start and did not walk a batter. He allowed five hits, three runs and he struck out three. Bigras was 2-for-3 with two doubles.

WELCOME (TO A NEW) HOME• Boston College opened the new baseball field, part of the Harrington Athletics Village, on March 20 in a game

against Northeastern. • The Eagles and Huskies ended up playing an 18-inning marathon in which NU won, 7-4. The game started at 2:30

p.m. but ended 5:24 later, allowing the lights to come on for the first time in a home game at BC.• BC collected its first win on Brighton with a 7-4 victory over Virginia Tech on March 23. • Senior 1B Mitch Bigras will go down in BC history as the first player to hit a home run at the new ball park. He hit

a solo shot over the right-field wall to break a scoreless tie in the third inning with two outs. Classmate INF Jake Palomaki followed with a bomb of his own in the very next at bat. Sophomore OF Dante Baldelli completed the historic day with a walk-off grand slam to lift BC to a series win, 6-2, in the bottom of the ninth.

ROAD WARRIORS• Boston College traveled almost 13,000 miles before opening the new park in Brighton, Mass., as the Eagles played

the first 17 games on the road before returning to The Heights. • The Eagles’ first scheduled home game was slated for March 13 but Massachusetts was hit with a Nor’easter,

postponing the game against Holy Cross. • BC started the 2018 journey in California with a three-game series at Santa Clara. • The Eagles’ second weekend began with an exhibition game against the Boston Red Sox at JetBlue Park Fenway

South in Fort Myers, Fla. It was the 27th meeting between the two Boston teams.• Before returning home, BC played three Big Ten teams in Port Charlotte at the Snowbird Classic. It was the Eagles’

fifth time at the annual invitational, where they are 15-8 all-time.• BC spent spring break in North Carolina, as it started at the USA Baseball Complex in Cary, N.C. The final game was

against host Army, where former associate head coach Jim Foster is in his second year at the helm and former volunteer assistant coach John Murphy is a first-year assistant.

• The Eagles faced another familiar face - former assistant Scott Friedholm - in a midweek game at UNC Asheville. Friedholm has led the Bulldog since leaving Chestnut Hill after the 2014 season. BC then took on Wofford at Fluor Field, home of the Greenville Drive, a Red Sox affiliate.

• BC opened conference play at NC State. They have won five of the last nine meeting between the two teams in Raleigh. With the true home opener moved due to snow, the Eagles traveled to Charlottesville, Va. for a meeting with Virginia.

• The first game at home on the new Harrington Athletics Village at Brighton Fields was one to remember as BC and Northeastern played 18 innings on March 20, 2018 in the first-ever game in Brighton. The Huskies won, 7-4.

EAGLES FALL TO SOX, 4-2• BC fell, 4-2, to the Boston Red Sox in the annual exhibition game between the two Boston squads. It was the 27th

time they met, playing at JetBlue Park Fenway South in Fort Myers, Fla., on Feb. 22. • The Red Sox jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first inning and added two more in the fourth. The Eagles scored

their two runs in the seventh, including one on an RBI by sophomore C Jake Goodreau.• Sophomore RHP Matt Gill recorded two strikeouts on the day and the entire BC pitching staff tallied four K’s.

Sophomore OF Dante Baldelli, freshman OF Chris Galland and redshirt junior OF Scott Braren registered the three BC hits on the day with Braren doubling in the fourth.

• Freshmen LHP Will Hesslink and RHP Jack Hodgson both recorded strikeouts in their one inning of work. • Redshirt freshman RHP Michael Marzonie threw two innings. He forced Sam Travis to hit into a double play to face

the minimum after hitting the lead-off man in the third and then he struck out Ivan De Jesus in the fourth.• Goodreau recorded the only RBI on a groundout to first, scoring freshman 1B Reyce Curnane, who was hit by a

pitch, stolen second and reached third on a wild pitch.• Former BC catcher Nick Sciortino (2014-16) saw action behind the plate for the Red Sox and grounded out against

Hodgson.

#Birdball

RAPP GARNERS CONFERENCE HONORS• Senior RHP Brian Rapp was named Atlantic Coast Conference Pitcher of the Week after striking out a career-high

10 and did not allow a hit in the Eagles’ 3-1 victory at Santa Clara on Feb. 18.• The Mendham, N.J., native allowed a lead-off walk to start the game before retiring the next 13 straight hitters. • The only other base runner he allowed was a hit batter in the fifth inning. • Rapp threw 93 pitches in his first outing of the season, earning the victory. • He also struck out SCU’s Jake Brodt, who hit three home runs the day before, both times the two faced off in the

BC win. • It was the first career weekly honor for Rapp and the first for the Eagles since Justin Dunn collected the

accolades on May 23, 2016.

GIAMPETRUZZI CHOSEN TO WEAR NICTAKIS’ NO. 8• In 2011, head coach Mike Gambino started a new tradition at The Heights. Each season, a player who has battled

adversity and represents the best qualities of BC Baseball wears No. 8 in honor of former player Peter “Sonny” Nictakis.

• Nictakis was a two-time captain for the Eagles in 1998-99 and lost his courageous battle with Hodgkin’s disease in the summer of 2000. His No. 8 had not been worn since the 1999 season and in the first year at the helm, Gambino created the new tradition.

• Senior LHP Carmen Giampetruzzi earned the honor in 2018. • Voted a captain, the Manchester, N.H., native improved each season, culminating with a career-low 3.66 ERA as

a junior. He has earned the Athletics Director’s Award for Academic Achievement and has been named to the ACC Honor Roll all three years of his BC career. He is on the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC)

• Other former winners are: Mike Sudol (2011), Kyle Prohovich (2012), Matt Paré (2013), Tom Bourdon (2014), Travis Ferrick (2015), and Johnny Adams (2016, 17).

PROFESSIONAL BIRDBALLERS• The 2018 professional baseball season is underway and the Eagles have a group of up-and-coming players in the

minor league system.• Slugger OF/1B Chris Shaw was a non-roster invitee to the Giants’ MLB camp this spring. He earned the 2018 Barney

Nugent Award, which recognizes the player in his first big league camp who “best exemplifies the San Francisco Giants spirit.” It is voted on by teammates, coaches and training staff.

• Former INF Blake Butera (2012-15) played in the Tampa Bay Rays system and transitioned to coaching. He was named the manager of the Hudson Valley Renegades at the age of 25, becoming the youngest manager in minor

league history.CELEBRATING FRATES AT THE HALL • On Oct. 14-15, the Eagles spent the weekend in Cooperstown, N.Y., spreading ALS awareness, celebrating the life

and work of former captain Pete Frates and of course, playing baseball. • The Eagles visited the National Baseball Hall of Fame, accompanied by Frates’ parents, John and Nancy, his brother,

Andrew, and Casey Sherman, co-author of The Ice Bucket Challenge: Pete Frates and the Fight against ALS.• The Frates family presented the Hall of Fame a rare signed Pete Frates baseball, autographed before his ALS

diagnosis. It was announced that the Hall would be adding an exhibit, “ALS and Baseball,” the story of Frates and hall of famers Lou Gehrig and Catfish Hunter, both of whom passed away from the disease.

• Frates’ parents, Sherman and head baseball coach Mike Gambino participated in a panel discussion to talk about the former BC ballplayer’s life, the ALS ice Bucket Challenge, which changed the course of the disease, and the progress that has been made since that August 2014.

• The BC players had the chance to view rare baseball artifacts that were specifically tied to ALS, including Gehrig’s bat. The final stop in the Hall was Frates’ own. In June, the bucket and sunglasses he used in his own Ice Bucket Challenge, completed at Fenway Park, was given to the Hall of Fame, along with his glove and cap from his BC playing days. It was the highlights of the weekend for many players.

• The Eagles also played an annual BC baseball tradition, The Sonny Nictakis Fall World Series, at historic Doubleday Field.

BIRDS IN THE CAPE• Eight members of the Boston College baseball team saw action in the prestigious Cape Cod Baseball League during

the 2017 summer: seniors INF Jake Palomaki and RHP Brian Rapp, juniors UT Jake Alu, C Gian Martellini, LHP Dan Metzdorf, RHP Jack Nelson, RHP Jacob Stevens and RHP John Witkowski.

• Alu (Bourne) played in eight games before an injury cut short his summer. He recorded five hits, four runs, four walks and two stolen bases.

• Martellini (Cotuit) recorded 18 hits, including four doubles and three home run, 11 runs, six walks and 16 RBIs. • Metzdorf (Chatham) went 3-0 with a 2.45 ERA for the Anglers. He has made 12 appearances, all in relief, recording

15 strikeouts, 20 hits and seven walks in 18.2 innings. • Nelson (Bourne) played most of the summer for the New Bedford Bay Sox but finished his summer on the Cape,

making two appearances - 2.2 innings of relief. The Braves lost in the CCBL Championship game.• Palomaki (Chatham) tied for first in the Cape Cod Baseball League with 28 walks on the season. He recorded 26

hits, including three doubles and a homer, 10 RBIs, and 24 runs, playing both the infield and outfield.

team that won the ACC regular-season and tournament titles and advanced to the College World Series in Omaha, finishing in third place. The following year, Lassiter earned a spot on the ACC All-Tournament Team. He played two seasons in the prestigious Cape Cod Collegiate Baseball League on the Chatham Anglers before being drafted in the 21st round by the Chicago White Sox.

• Lassiter was a career .324 hitter for the Tar Heels. He earned his bachelor’s degree in interpersonal communications in 2017.

2018 CAPTAINS• Seniors LHP Carmen Giampetruzzi and INF Jake Palomaki were voted the 2018 captains by the BC baseball team.• “I am extremely excited to have Carmen and Jake lead this team as captains,” Gambino said. “Leaders possess

integrity, character and commitment and these two showcase that on a daily basis. Our junior and senior classes are filled with great people and ball players. We had a great fall because of the leadership on this team.”

DRAFTED BIRDS• Three Boston College baseball players were drafted in the 2017 MLB First-Year Players Draft.• Nineteen players have been drafted under eight-year head coach Mike Gambino, including two in the first round

(Justin Dunn, 19th overall - 2016; Chris Shaw, 31st overall - 2015).• OF Donovan Casey was selected in the 20th round by the LA Dodgers. The 610th overall pick, Casey recorded a

.287 batting average, 150 hits, 54 RBIs and 22 stolen bases in three years at The Heights. He also tallied a 2.41 ERA in 33 appearances with 37 strikeouts and opponents hit under .200 against him. The Stratford, N.J., native has six career saves, tying for ninth all-time while his five saves in 2017 tied for eighth.

A mainstay at shortstop, he compiled a .961 career fielding percentage, making just 34 errors in 835 chances. He was the first two-time recipient of the No. 8 jersey after he was the first junior selected in 2016. He started his senior season by being voted a team captain by his teammates and ended it by earning BC’s Unsung Hero Award as the male recipient. Adams ranked on 10 different BC record lists. He was named to the 2016 Oxford All-Regional Team and earned Most Outstanding Player.

• Junior RHP Jacob Stevens was drafted in the 33rd round by the New York Yankees but chose to return to BC. The 992nd overall pick, he is currently ninth in BC’s record book with a 3.89 career ERA.

Mike Gambino, a 1999 Boston College graduate, was named head baseball coach on July 19, 2010. He brought the Eagles to the program’s first NCAA Tournament in seven years in 2016 and back-to-back Atlantic Coast Conference Championship appearances.

Gambino guided the 2016 Eagles to 35 overall wins, the most since 2005, tying for the second most in program history. They also tallied 13 ACC wins, the most since 2010, while their six conference series victories set a school record. BC swept the Oxford Regional as the three seed to advance to the program’s first-ever Super Regional and move on for the first time in 49 years. BC also earned national ranking for the first time in school history, ending the season in the top 25 in all four major polls (15th – D1Baseball, 16th – Baseball America, NCBWA and 21st – USA Today/Coaches Poll).

For his efforts, Gambino was named the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) Northeast Region Coach of the Year, was a D1Baseball finalist for Coach of the Year and earned a spot on the website’s top-10 coaching performances of the season.

Gambino saw Justin Dunn garner All-America third-team honors, the first pitcher to do so since 2009, and newcomer Jacob Stevens collect freshman All-America honors from two media outlets, the first BC honoree since 2002. Stevens picked up New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association (NEIBA) Freshman of the Year accolades and All-ACC Freshman team honors, while Dun was named to the All-ACC Third Team and four players were named to the NEIBA All-New England team.

The 2016 Eagles ranked in the top five on 13 school record lists, including setting the program record for walks (240), tying the record for saves (14), and ranking second in opponent batting average (.245). Ten Eagles ranked on 26 of BC’s career top-10 lists while eight Eagles found themselves 17 times on single-season, top-10 lists.

In 2017, the Eagles returned to the ACC Championship, the first time they went to the conference tournament in back-to-back years since 2009-10. BC accomplished the feat by winning 10 of its last 15 ACC games with sweeps over Notre Dame and NC State. Two players – Donovan Casey (second team) and Jake Alu (third team) – earned All-New England status.

The ’17 Eagles ranked fourth in BC record books for their .975 fielding percentage and fifth all-time with 76 stolen bases. Jake Palomaki broke BC’s career walks record and ranked on two other career record lists while Jacob Stevens is ranked ninth for career ERA. Johnny Adams earned a spot on five career top-10 lists, Michael Strem on eight and Casey tied for ninth for career saves. Overall, Eagles ranked on 13 single-season lists in BC history in 2017.

The Eagles’ 10 stolen bases against Villanova (March 5) was the standard for the ACC in 2017 and their four double plays turned (at Florida State, March 10) and 54 total bases (vs. Notre Dame, May 19) tied for the league’s season highs. The 76 stolen bases were second in the conference and 39th in the nation. BC’s fielding percentage (.975) was fifth in the league while its 46 double plays turned tied for fourth.

In 2016 and 2015, Gambino mentored two first-round draft picks: Dunn, taken 19th overall by the New York Mets in 2016, and Chris Shaw, taken 31st overall by the San Francisco Giants. It was the first time in program history the Eagles saw back-to-back first rounders. BC was also one of five programs to have first-round selections both years.

The 2016 season saw five baseball players drafted – Dunn, Michael King (12th round), Jesse Adams (14th round), Nick Sciortino (19th round) and Joe Cronin (34th round). In 2017, Gambino saw Casey (20th round) and Adams (22nd round) leave The Heights for the MLB.

In 2015, Gambino logged his 100th career win as a head coach in the final game of the season with a walk-off, 10th-inning victory against No. 24 Notre Dame. The Eagles ranked in the top five on six school record lists, including the second-fewest walks (231), the third-best fielding percentage (.976) and the pitching staff recording the fourth-most strikeouts (433). BC also ranked sixth on the year in the ACC in stolen bases (63) and doubles per game (1.78), fifth for stolen bases per game (1.17) and walks per game (4.28) and second in fielding percentage.

Four players from the 2015 team were drafted in the MLB First-Year Players Draft, including Shaw, the first

BC first-rounder since 2009. John Gorman (31st round), Jeff Burke (32nd round) and Blake Butera (35th round) were also taken. Four Eagles earned New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association (NEIBA) All-New England accolades while Gorman was named to the ACC All-Academic Team and Shaw collected All-ACC Second-Team, Perfect Game USA All-American Third-Team and American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) All-Northeast First-Team honors.

The Eagles went 17-33 in Gambino’s first season at the helm, but he saw four players get selected in the MLB First-Year Player Draft. In 2011, the Eagles improved to 20-33, winning 10 games in the highly-competitive ACC. In just one year, the team’s batting average improved 19 points, slugging percentage 54 points and on-base percentage 27 points.

In his second year, Gambino saw infielder Anthony Melchionda and outfielder Tom Bourdon earn All-ACC second-team honors and take home ABCA All-Northeast Region and NEIBA All-Star accolades. Melchionda and classmate Matt Brazis were both drafted in the 2012 MLB Draft.

A young team in 2013, the Eagles regularly started five freshmen, and Gambino worked to improve through the year. The overall batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage all rose significantly from the first half of the season to the second and the Eagles doubled their win total.

In his fourth year at The Heights, Gambino saw the more improvement, recording 22 wins with 10 in conference. Shaw earned First-Team All-ACC and ABCA honors while pitcher Andrew Chin was drafted in the 15th round.

Since taking over at the Heights, Gambino has stressed off the field success as well, raising the team’s GPA as a whole. Eagles have earned seven spots on the All-ACC Academic baseball team and 58 on the ACC Academic Honor Roll.

Gambino, who was an assistant coach for the Eagles from 2003-05, came from Virginia Tech where he spent four seasons as an assistant coach under former BC head coach, Pete Hughes. He served as the Hokies’ recruiting coordinator and also worked with the hitters and infielders. In his four years, he saw 15 players get drafted in the MLB Draft, including nine in 2010. From 1997 through 2006, only 13 Hokies were drafted in total.

Virginia Tech’s batting average improved 40 points under Gambino’s direction since the 2006 season. With his help, the 2010 Hokies made their first appearance in the NCAA Tournament since 2000 and finished the season ranked No. 20 in the country.

Prior to working in Blacksburg, Gambino spent two years as a regional scout for the Detroit Tigers.

Gambino played for the Eagles from 1997-2000, starting 166 games in the middle infield. He held a career batting average of .313 with 22 doubles, eight homers, 87 RBIs and 117 runs. His 78 hits in 2000, which was No. 1 when he graduated, was tied for fifth, until 2011, when his own player, Bourdon, knocked it down one with 79 hits of his own. Gambino’s 52 runs his final year is still tied for eighth.

The Garrison, N.Y., native was a first-team All-Big East, All-New England and All-Northeast region honoree following his senior campaign. He also earned second-team All-New England and Big East Academic Team accolades during his playing career.

Following his career with BC, Gambino played two seasons in the Boston Red Sox minor league system. He spent the 2000 season with the Augusta Green Jackets before splitting the 2001 season between Augusta and the Lowell Spinners. In 2002, the Red Sox hired Gambino as a special assistant to the Major League staff before heading back to Lowell for a coaching role with the Spinners just prior to the June draft. Following his stint in Lowell, the Red Sox sent Gambino to the MLB Scout Development Program.

In January 2003, Gambino returned to Boston College as an assistant coach under Hughes.

Gambino received his bachelor’s degree from The Heights in English and theology. He currently lives in Needham, Mass., with his wife, Jill, and their children, Sonny and Callahan.
