The series has seen multiple schedule changes in the last week. It was originally slated to be a three-game series, however dropped to a two-game set earlier in the week.
The first game was set to be played on Saturday evening, but due to inclement weather was postponed to Sunday which forced the doubleheader.

Left-handed pitcher Brady Miller (2-1, 4.34 ERA) is expected to get the start for the Eagles in the first game. This season, the sophomore has made 10 appearances this season, pitched 45.2 innings, and has allowed 39 hits, 25 runs (22 earned), walked 19 batters, and struck out 47. He will go against right-handed pitcher Josh Willitts (1-7, 4.94 ERA).
A.J. Colarusso (5-2, 3.86 ERA) will get the nod for Boston College in the second game. This season, the left-handed pitcher has made 12 appearances and allowed 64 hits, 38 runs (27 earned), walked 18 batters, and struck out 54 in 63 innings of work.
