Virginia takes game one of the three game series behind another strong performance from Connor Jones, some stellar defense from Ernie Clement, and timely hitting by the Cavaliers' bats.
Up until this point in the season, Virginia's woes in weekend series have come down to two things. The bullpen and men left on base. Well tonight, Virginia excelled in both areas. After struggling for the first couple innings, Connor Jones settled in to hold the Tar Heels to two runs through six innings. Then in the sixth, a lead off triple and a bloop base hit would chase Jones from the game.
