A four-run second held up for Virginia in a 4-3 series-clinching win over Duke on Saturday at Disharoon Park.
A two-out infield single to third base on an over shifted infield by Tate Ballestero initiated the four-run rally in the second inning. The Cavaliers (19-18, 11-15 ACC) trailed 1-0 going into the frame and captured the lead for good on RBI single from Chris Newell that scored two runs thanks to a Blue Devil fielding error.
