📈 STOCK UP

🔼 To The Supers. Virginia baseball isn’t quite done filling the Dish this season! After a 8-3 win over East Carolina on Sunday evening, the Hoos are set to host a Super Regional in Charlottesville next weekend.

Connelly Early earned the win in the decisive victory over the Pirates, allowing just two runs and striking out 10 over 6.1 innings and was named Most Outstanding Player of the Charlottesville Regional for his efforts.

Kyle Teel, Ethan Anderson, Jake Gelof, Casey Saucke, Ethan O’Donnell, Anthony Stephan and Nick Parker all earned all-tournament honors.

🔼 From The First Two. The Hoos produced plenty of highlights over the weekend, and we’ve got you covered!

Brian Edgington: 5 IP, 0 hits, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 Ks

Griff O’Ferrall, Casey Saucke, Henry Godbout: 3 hits each

Nick Parker: 7 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 Ks

Casey Saucke: 3 hits

🔼 Almost There. There are big things happening in the Virginia athletics department these days. Like, 90,000-square feet big.

Virginia held a Topping Off ceremony for the new football operations center on Friday, while also signaling the beginning of another major piece of the department’s Master Plan the same day: a Groundbreaking ceremony for the Olympic Sports Complex.

🔼 Great First Impression. Xander Dickson made his professional debut over the weekend for Atlas Lacrosse Club, and made his talents known immediately.
