10/29/05 - UVA Defends ACC Title vs. Maryland

The Cavaliers did not get to play the University of Maryland last year for the MAC-South Conference Championship. The Terrapins did not make the trip down this fall for the ACC Tournament. The two title holders got to meet today at Burley Field where Virginia got the better of their rivals from the north, sweeping the doubleheader 6-4 & 8-0. Game 1 was a back-and-forth battle that featured five lead-changes. Kevin Belt kept the Cavs in the game by allowing 4 runs over 6 innings. Matt Massey pitched 3 scoreless innings in relief to get the win, thanks in part to Matt Sherman scoring after reaching on a walk to start the 8th. Pitcher Robert Cox stole the show in Game 2. He went the distance in a dominant performance, allowing only 5 hits while striking out 13. Andrew Daley capped the scoring in a 5-run 7th with a 2 rbi single. The Cavs have won their last 7 contests.


10/15/05 - UVA Defends Home Turf vs. W&M

Virginia ran its winning streak to 5 games with a double header sweep of William & Mary in their first home games of the fall season. Kevin Belt came in with a 6-2 deficit to pick up the win in relief in Game 1. The Cavaliers scored 10 unanswered runs, including a grand slam by Ryan Charles in the 6th to seal the 12-6 victory. Matt Masey pitched 6 strong innings in Game 2 to get a 7-4 win. Charles went deep in the 6th again to provide insurance, but Victor Outlaw would not need it as he pitched a scoreless 7th for his first career save. Nick Bonard reached base in 7 of his 9 plate appearances, scoring 4 runs on the day. John Arseneau chipped in with 5 rbi. The Cavaliers have a week off before returning to action at Burley to take on last year's conference champions, the Maryland Terrapins.

 10/2/05 - 2005 ACC Club Baseball Tournament Champions!!!

Virginia went 3-1 over the weekend in Raleigh, NC to claim the inaugural ACC Club Baseball Tournament Title. The Cavaliers faced possible early elimination after losing the opening game to UNC-Charlotte 7-2, but they stormed back against UNC (Chapel Hill) in Saturday's second game to claim a 7-3 victory behind the pitching of rookie Kevin Belt. When UNC-Charlotte lost to Duke later that day, the Cavs became the Pool B winners based on tie-breakers and advanced to play NC State in the Semi-Finals on Sunday. UVA batted around in the 3rd inning against the Wolfpack to take an early 4-run lead. That would prove to be all Todd Zivic would need. He pitched a complete game, giving up only 1 earned run and striking out 7 in a 9-2 win. The Finals featured a re-match between UVA and UNC. This time UNC built up a 7-0 lead before Virginia's bats came alive. They scored 10 unanswered, highlighted by 1st year 2nd baseman Justin Armistead's 3-run homerun- the first of his career- that gave the Cavs their first lead of the ballgame. 4th year David Cassel picked up the win and 1st year Matt Massey got the save as they held off the Tar Heels for a 10-9 win. Todd was named tournament MVP for his performance.
