The box score is going to show that Virginia pounded 16 hits on their way to an 8-0 win over Florida State, but the story of the game is the performance by Virginia’s Noah Murdock and Alec Bettinger. The duo held a potent Florida State offense scoreless and only surrendered two hits on the day as the Hoos pulled even in their best of three set in Tallahasse.
The two teams traded scoreless innings through the first four frames until Virginia struck first courtesy of a two-run home run by Jake McCarthy which scored Justin Novak who doubled to lead off the inning.
