Virginia proved on Wednesday night why it’s the top team in the CB360 Composite National Rankings, rallying in the 9th to score three times vs. Coastal Carolina – avoiding a midweek stumble that has become commonplace for many of the nation’s top teams. The Cavaliers (33-3 overall) have yet to lose a midweek game this season – with their only losses coming in game-3s of series vs. current CB360 top-50 teams (3-4 vs. current #34 East Carolina … 11-12 at current #9 Florida State, in 10 innings … and 8-10 at current #10 Georgia Tech). front-page photo courtesy of UAB
Steven Proscia had the RBI single that capped Virginia's 3-run, 9th-inning rally vs. Coastal Carolina.
Wednesday’s limited schedule produced only one upset among the eight games featuring CB360 top-50 teams, as Alabama Birmingham (UAB) maintained its lead and won the resumed game vs. #38 Mississippi State (6-4).
