One of the hallmarks of the Brian O’Connor era of Virginia baseball has been a consistent track record of hosting a regional. Controversial as it may be, the Cavaliers will not be at home the first weekend of June this season for just the second time since 2009, as they will head to Fort Worth and play No. 6 national seed TCU.
In the last 13 seasons, the Hoos have generally performed well in the regional rounds. They’ve gotten to a super regional six of those years, and lost in the regional final two other times - both at home, in 2004 to Vanderbilt and 2007 to eventual national champion Oregon State.
