It was the moment many of the 1,000-plus fans who sat under the Harrington Athletics Village's sun-splashed sky yearned and longed to enjoy. Treated to extra baseball and with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 10th inning, they watched in wonder as Travis Honeyman lofted a fly ball to right field. The routine sacrifice fly was deep enough to score Peter Burns anyway, but a misplay by right fielder Will Marcy popped the ball off his glove and touched off a wild, frenzied reaction.
As Burns sprinted home, the rest of the Boston College dugout exploded towards Honeyman, and the beaming smile of the Major League Baseball draft prospect told the story of a team that never expected to lose both ends of a Sunday doubleheader against an ACC opponent.
