Devin Ortiz (Nutley, N.J.) each put forth multi-hit efforts in the victory.
“I was excited to see this weekend that we can win a couple of close ball games,” head coach Brian O’Connor said. “I told the team, when you’re playing UConn, it’s like playing an ACC team. I believe because of the level of competition this weekend, we’ll be prepared for the start of ACC play next weekend, obviously earlier than we ever have before.”
After Vasil set the tone with a seven-pitch, top of the first inning, the Cavaliers found themselves up 1-0 just two batters into the bottom half of the frame. Kent led the game off with a single to left, then stole second base and scored on an RBI single by Lebreux. Ortiz followed up with an RBI ground out to third to give Virginia a 2-0 advantage after the first inning.
