Virginia came into the weekend looking to make a statement. Not only do they need wins to make a case for a berth in next month’s NCAA Regionals, but Virginia Tech has one of their best teams in years. And the Cavaliers delivered. The bats were on fire Friday night as UVA took the opener 18-1. The Hokies bounced back taking the second game 6-3. Finally Virginia punctuated the series win with a 6-1 victory in the deciding game three.
Game one got off to a slow start with both teams going scoreless through three. The Hokies got on the board with a run in the fourth, but it would be the fifth inning when the Hoos got rolling.
