Just a few weeks ago the Cavaliers were sitting pretty in the ACC standings. Leading the Coastal division, 4-1 in ACC series on the season, and ranked in the top 5 of most polls.
Since then, the Hoos have struggled dropping their last three series to Pittsburgh, Notre Dame, and Duke, have fallen to a game and a half behind Duke in the Coastal, and No. 21 in this week’s D1Baseball poll. Most prognosticators have UVA on the outside looking in in terms of regional hosts for next month’s NCAA Tournament.
With six ACC games left to play and a still strong RPI ranking at 13, UVA still has a chance to bolster its resume and possibly win the Coastal division after all.
