Some of the best baseball games I’ve seen at Russ Chandler have been between the Jackets and Cavaliers. I especially remember a weekend about 10 years back that ended 1-1-1 when Virginia tied a game late before having to leave on a pre-established curfew.
Now, the 11-6 (1-2) Jackets send Xzavion Curry (2-0, 2.95ERA) up against junior RHP Noah Murdock (0-1, 3.63 ERA) for the 8-8 (1-2) Cavs. Midweek, Tech beat Ga Southern while Virginia lost to Liberty. Tonight turned into a heartbreaking loss for Tech after more than four hours.
UVA struck early with a one out double followed by a homer to right in the top of the 1st to lead 2-0.
