The Seton Hall Pirates baseball team split its doubleheader with Virginia over the weekend, winning the first game by a final of 3-0 and losing the second, 4-0. The series’ third game, set for Sunday morning, was cancelled due to rain.
Noah Thompson had a career day in the first game, holding Virginia scoreless through 8.1 innings while only giving up two hits, walking one batter, and striking out six.
A complete team effort helped Thompson’s cause. Eight of nine Pirates in the starting lineup reached base and the Pirates collected 11 hits on the day, getting two hits apiece from familiar contributors Connor Hood, Sebastiano Santorelli, Tyler-Shedler McAvoy, and Matt Toke.
