Former Wood River High School baseball star Ryne Reynoso of Hailey is off to a strong start as a junior outfielder for the NCAA Division 1 Boston College Eagles baseball team from Massachusetts.
So is Boston College (8-1), which has won eight of nine games on a 17-game southern road swing that started Feb. 17 and continues through March 19. The Eagles will have played 22 games on the road prior to their March 28 home opener at Chestnut Hill, Mass.
Reynoso, 20, has started eight of nine BC ball games.
He is hitting .333 (11-for-33) and is ranked among the top run-producers on the squad with two doubles, one homer and nine RBIs. As a sophomore in 2005, he started 24 of 37 games and hit .290 with 10 doubles, two homers and 10 RBI.
Sunday, right fielder Reynoso came off the bench and went 3-for-3 (2 RBI) in Boston College's 10-5 win over Pittsburgh at Rollins College's Alfond Stadium in Winter Park, Fla. Reynoso had a big RBI double as the Eagles (15 hits) blew it open in the sixth.
The Eagles played the Boston Red Sox in an exhibition Friday, losing 10-0 at Fort Myers. In a game won by Curt Schilling, Reynoso was the sixth of six Eagle hurlers, allowing two runs and whiffing two Sox batters in one frame.
Reynoso, enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences, is the elder of Pam Street and Ron Reynoso's two sons. An All-Star performer, he led the Wood River baseball team to a state championship his senior year.
