Coming into the weekend series with the Pittsburgh Panthers, the Cavaliers appeared unstoppable at home. Having won a nations-best and program record 23 home games in a row, the Hoos looked to keep the momentum rolling. However after giving up three runs in the fourth inning of Friday’s night’s matchup, the Hoos found themselves chasing a deficit they wouldn’t overcome. Saturday was much of the same as Virginia lost 6-4, before the Cavaliers avoided the sweep winning 8-5 in Sunday’s series finale.
The Hoos got an early 2-1 lead Friday night after a Jake Gelof sacrifice fly scored Griff O’Ferrall and Kyle Teel hit his seventh home run of the seaon.
