One bad inning and multiple missed opportunities cost Virginia a win on Tuesday night in Omaha as the Cavaliers fell 6-5 to Mississippi State. Virginia led through the first seven innings of the game as starting pitcher Griff McGarry had a no-hitter, but the Bulldogs scored all of their runs in a disastrous span that featured two multi-run home runs.
Virginia left 10 runners on base in the loss, going 5-for-11 with runners in scoring position.
With the loss, Virginia drops into the loser’s bracket where they will have to face Texas on Thursday in an elimination game.
