Day after longest game, Boston College bows out

AUSTIN, Texas — Hours after losing the longest game in NCAA history, Boston College ended its season by losing 4-3 to Army in the Austin regional on Sunday.

Army closer Kevin McKague escaped a ninth-inning scare for his seventh save, getting Mickey Wiswall to ground into a double-play with the bases load.

On Saturday night, the Eagles lost 3-2 in a 25-inning marathon against regional host Texas. Army (36-20) advanced to play the Longhorns a few hours later Sunday.

Boston College (34-26) jumped to a 2-0 lead in the second inning, but Army rallied for a 3-2 lead in the fifth when designated hitter Joey Henshaw drove in Cling Moore and Zach Price.

Army starting pitcher Kirk Porter (7-3) gave up three runs and struck out six batters in 6 2-3 innings.
