Kirby, who was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers with the 40th overall pick in last week's MLB draft, hasn't pitched since April 17th, when he went out with a strained lat, then contracted mono. He was 5-2 with a 2.28 ERA in 10 starts before his injury.
He'll face off against Florida's Logan Shore (10-6, 2.55 ERA). A Virginia win would send the team to the College World Series championship round, while a loss would force a do-or-die final game against the Gators on Saturday.
