VA Gameday Bulletin

Sunday, April 4 – Sunday, April 11

Virginia Baseball Getting Back on Track

After winning their first conference series last weekend, the UVA baseball team had a great week. They won a mid-week thriller in extra innings against William & Mary, then followed it up by taking two of three at Clemson. Like the previous weekend, they dropped Game 1 before coming back strong with wins in Game 2 and Game 3. In Game 3, they came back from down 4-3 in the seventh, scoring three runs and eventually winning 6-5. Freshman Kyle Teel had a monster game, driving in a career-best four runs, including a two-run dinger in the fourth. UVA is now 16-15 and 8-13 in conference play.

Liberty Baseball Has a Perfect Week

The Flames started the week by continuing their success against the ACC, beating Wake Forest 8-4, and finished with a three-game sweep of Lipscomb. They’re now 4-1 this season against the ACC, 21-8 overall, and ranked in the RPI Top 40.

ODU Baseball Has Winning Streak Snapped

Old Dominion had a 10-game winning streak going before falling 4-0 to FAU in their series finale on Sunday. Despite the loss, the Monarchs are ranked No. 29 in the College Baseball RPI and 24-6 overall. They’ll play at Virginia this Wednesday (April 14).
