Virginia Baseball claims victory over Minnesota in the Karbach Round Rock Classic, with a final score of 4-2. The Cavaliers secured their first come-from-behind win of the season, thanks to late-inning home runs from Aidan Teel and Trey Wells. Pitching staff recorded 12 strikeouts, their fourth double-digit performance of the season.
The game saw an impressive performance from Virginia starter Bryson Moore, who matched his career-high with six strikeouts over five innings. Minnesota initially took the lead with a two-run RBI single, but Virginia fought back with Teel and Ford’s efforts. Teel’s three-run home run in the sixth inning gave Virginia the lead, while Wells added insurance with a homer in the seventh.
Reliever Matt Lanzendorfer picked up the win, striking out five Gophers in two shutout innings. Ryan Osinski secured the victory with two shutout innings and was credited with the save. Notable performances include Teel’s three-RBI game, Lanzendorfer’s five strikeouts, and Wells’ home run in his Virginia debut.
Looking ahead, the Cavaliers will face off against Oklahoma in the final game of the Karbach Round Rock Classic. Lefty Tomas Valincius is set to take the mound for Virginia. The game against the Golden Gophers marked the first meeting between the two teams in program history, with Virginia’s quartet of hitters leading the charge.
