Virginia got on the board first thanks to Robbie Coman’s RBI single. It was his third straight game with an RBI. Rutgers tied it up and pulled ahead with a pair of home runs in the second and third.
Clement would put the Hoos back ahead with his first home run of the season, a shot to the left field bleachers, giving UVa the 3-2 lead. Ultimately, that would be the lead they would not relinquish.
The Cavaliers would go on to explode for 8 runs in the 6th thanks to four hits and three walks, but helped by back to back throwing errors from Rutgers.
