Behind a complete game pitching performance by Trevor Hutchinson, a 17-hit attack and seven stolen bases, Cal defeated visiting Boston College, 10-4, Friday at Evans Diamond.  

The Bears improved their record to 6-6, while the Eagles go to 3-1.  

Hutchinson improved his record to 3-1 by pitching 9 innings, giving up 10 hits, four runs, two walks and getting five strikeouts. It was a less-than dominating performance by Cal’s top starter, but it got the job done. 

Cal had several hitting stars on the day. Sophomore first baseman Conor Jackson continued his hot streak, going 4-for-5 with an RBI against the Eagles. Junior left fielder Ben Conley was 4-for-5 with a double and an RBI, sophomore right fielder Brian Horwitz was 3-for-5 with two RBI and senior second baseman Carson White was 3-for-4 with an RBI. Junior catcher John Baker added a two-run homer in the fourth inning and sophomore shortstop Jeff Dragicevich had a double and two RBI.  

The losing pitcher for Boston College was starter Matt O’Donnell (0-1, 3.7 innings, 11 hits, eight runs, one walk, one strikeout). Matt Lederhos and Jason Delaney had two hits apiece for the Eagles, while Brian Macchi had a two-run homer in the fifth inning.  

Cal hosts Boston College in the second game of the three-game series Saturday at 1 p.m. at Evans Diamond. The series finale is on Sunday at 1 p.m.
