CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – The Boston College Eagles capitalized on two Virginia Tech errors to plate four unearned runs and won the ACC series over the Hokies with a 4-1 victory on Sunday afternoon at Pellagrini Diamond.

Saige Jenco scored Tech’s only run in the fourth, his team-high tying 30th of the season and the 97th of his Tech career.

BC starter Mike King (5-3) picked up the win on the mound after tossing a complete game, allowing five hits and two walks and striking out six.

Nic Enright (1-3) suffered the loss despite not allowing an earned run. He went five innings and struck out four. Jon Woodcock threw the final three innings scoreless for Tech.
