BROOKLINE, Mass. – Boston College cast a shadow over the Northeastern baseball team's 2015 home opener on Tuesday afternoon as the Eagles registered 22 hits en route to a 22-1 victory against the Huskies.
 
Third baseman Nolan Lang notched his fifth multi-hit game of the year by going three-for-four from the plate. The freshman from Orlando, Florida, snapped a three-game hitless streak, posting three hits in a single game for the first time since March 14 against Wagner.
 
Northeastern (7-13, 0-3 CAA) tallied just five hits on the day and left seven runners on base, four fewer than Boston College (7-13, 1-7 ACC).
 
Co-captain Josh Treff extended his hit streak to four consecutive games with a single coming during the third inning, and finished the day going one-for-three. Gabe Levanti went one-for-four in the batter's box, while Pat Madigan improved his reached-base streak to 16 consecutive games after being hit by a pitch in the eighth inning.
 
Eleven different BC batters recorded at least one hit during the game, most notably right fielder Chris Shaw, who hit two home runs during his first two at-bats. Shaw, Michael Strem, and Anthony Maselli each ended the game with five RBIs and combined for seven hits and five of the Eagles' 11 extra-base hits.
 
Shaw awarded Boston College an early 2-0 lead in the first inning after hitting a two-run home run to left field off NU starting pitcher Isaac Lippert. Johnny Adams scored on an RBI single by Michael Strem to put BC up, 3-0, in the top of the third before Shaw homered again, extending the Eagles' lead to 5-0.
 
Northeastern center fielder Mason Koppens reached base in the bottom of the third on a fielder's choice and advanced to second base on a wild pitch thrown by BC starter John Gorman. Two batters later, the freshman outfielder scored on an RBI single by Treff, cutting Boston College's lead to 6-1 after three frames.
 
BC would go on to score three more runs during the fourth inning to take a commanding 9-1 advantage and a defensive error by the Huskies in the fifth allowed another run to cross the plate, increasing the Eagles' lead to 10-1.
 
NU would put two runners on base during a rally in the bottom of the fifth, but the Huskies could not bring them home after Treff was called out on an infield fly, and Michael Foster struck out looking.
 
A pinch-hit grand slam by Boston College's Anthony Maselli in the eighth inning lowered Northeastern's hopes of a comeback and helped fuel a nine-run rally by the Eagles that saw BC break the 20-run mark for the first time since 2003. The Huskies would concede another run during the ninth as NU dropped its first home game of the year, 22-1.
 
Northeastern returns to Friedman Diamond on Wednesday, March 25, for a 3 p.m. game against UMass Lowell. Brian Christian (0-0, 1.69 ERA) will make his second career start for the Huskies.
