The hero on senior day at Virginia fittingly was senior Christian Hlinka, who doubled home the game-winning run in the bottom of the ninth of a 5-4 comeback win over Wake Forest.
Virginia (25-21, 16-17 ACC) completed the series sweep, its first of the season and first against an ACC opponent since 2019.
Freshman Jake Gelof drew a lead-off walk in the bottom of the ninth of a 4-4 game to put the winning run on base. After pair of unsuccessful bunt attempts, Hlinka roped a double into the right center field gap that rolled all the way to the wall. Running on the 1-2 pitch, Gelof scored the winning run without drawing a throw.

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.
