After an inspiring performance over the weekend during which the Virginia Cavaliers took two of three from Cal, they came out flat once again in the midweek, falling 6-2 to Richmond. This marked the UVA program’s first midweek loss since April of 2022. The ‘Hoos began the year as the nation’s No. 2 ranked team per D1Baseball, but are on the precipice of falling out of the top 25 entirely, now at 12-7 overall.
Much of Virginia’s struggles have come from its defensive woes. The Cavaliers added two more errors to their season total on Wednesday and are now averaging more than one per game overall.
