Maybe it was a little rust after the long exam break, but the ACC’s leading offense got off to a bit of a slow start Saturday. After heavy rains postponed Friday night’s game, Virginia struggled out of the gate in the first game only registering three hits in a 5-1 loss. However, they’d prove that to be an aberration scoring 13 runs in the second game and forcing a Sunday matchup to see who takes the series.
In the first game, Miami used a stellar pitching performance from left hander, Jeb Bargfeldt. The junior pitched a complete game three-hitter, keeping the potent Virginia offense at bay for the whole day.
