The Virginia Cavaliers baseball team took care of business in the opening weekend of the season with a 3-game sweep over Hofstra. Friday required a comeback effort, as the ‘Hoos were down 4-1 until a sixth inning rally, helping them ultimately pull out a 10-8 victory. There were zero problems on Saturday as the Cavaliers cruised in a 21-3 blowout.
