Fourth-seed Boston College baseball (36-20, 17-13 ACC) will take on fifth-seed Miami (37-17, 16-14 ACC) in the 2026 ACC Tournament quarterfinals in Charlotte, N.C., on Thursday at 3 p.m.
This will be the Eagles’ first postseason contest of the year, as they earned a double bye from finishing in the top four in the conference in the regular season. The Hurricanes, however, advanced in the second round of the tournament with an 11-2 rout of Stanford on Wednesday.
BC has decided to go with its ace, lefty A.J. Colarusso (5-3, 4.18 ERA), as the starter, while Miami is expected to start righty Lazaro Collera (3-3, 5.05 ERA).
Earlier this season, the Eagles defeated the Hurricanes in a best-of-three league series with a pair of wins in the opener (8-7 in 11 inn.) and the finale (9-5). BC dropped the middle contest 5-3.
The winner of Thursday’s quarterfinal matchup will move onto the semifinals on Saturday at 1 p.m. against top-seeded Georgia Tech.
