Super Regional Preview - Oklahoma
Thursday, June 10 2010 by Tiki - 0 comments
So, the Hoos move on to face the Oklahoma Sooners in a Super Regional to be held at Davenport field in Charlottesville. For anybody who doesn’t know, the Super Regionals are a simple best of 3 series. The first game will be Saturday at 3PM ET. The second game will be Sunday at 4 PM. The third, and final, game will be played Monday at either 1 PM or 7PM, and only if the two teams split the first 2 games. Oklahoma had a solid season , finishing at 47-15. They were particularly good at home, going 22-6. On the road, however, they were just 15-6. They were also 7-3 in neutral sites. I suppose...

Charlottesville Regional Update – Hoos, Red Storm Win
Saturday, June 05 2010 by Tiki - 0 comments
In the early game of the Charlottesville regional, the St John’s Red Storm took care of the VCU Rams 8-6, eliminating the Rams. The Johnnies hit 4 HR’s on the day, including 2 by Matt Wessinger. After VCU jumped out to an early 2-0 lead on a Brent Mikionis 2 run shot in the top of the 1st, St John’s hit 3 HRs of their own in the bottom of the inning to take a 3-2 lead. VCU tied it up in the 2nd, only to see St John’s retake the lead, 5-3 on Wessinger’s 2nd shot in as many innings. A couple more runs for the Red Storm in the bottom of the 4th, and another in the 8th made the score 8...

NCAA Regional Updates – Hoos, Rebels Win
Saturday, June 05 2010 by Tim - 0 comments
Around 4pm last night, the Virginia Cavaliers baseball team took the field as host of their own NCAA Regional for the fourth time in school history. The previous three outings (2004, 2006 and 2007) didn’t go so well for the Hoos as they didn’t advance to the Super Regional. Only last year, playing out of the Irvine Regional and facing Stephen Strasburg of SDSU State and then UC Irvine twice, did the Cavaliers manage to advance. Judging by the results of last night, the 2010 team is intent on bringing the success of last year to Davenport Field this year. Virginia coach Brian O’Connor sent Cody...

Charlottesville Regional Preview
Wednesday, June 02 2010 by Tiki - 1 comments
The Hoos open the NCAA Baseball tournament on Friday, as the #5 overall seed in the tournament. Let’s disregard the incongruity of giving the #5 seed to a team that finished 2 nd in RPI and no worse than 3 rd in every poll that matters. It is what is it, and the Hoos are happy to be hosting a regional (and hopefully a superregional). The Charlottesville regional includes the Cavs, the Ole Miss Rebels , the Big East champion St John’s Red Storm and the CAA champion VCU Rams . The Hoos open the regional at 4PM on Friday, against VCU. Ole Miss and St John’s will play later on Friday. This preview...
Hoos Take Game 1 From Surging Hokies
Saturday, April 17 2010 by Tim - 0 comments
Earlier in the season, I was explaining to some friends the landscape of ACC baseball. If you’re reading this, you already know most of the details, but the relevant comment from that discussion was “… and Maryland, Boston College and Virginia Tech are terrible.” Apparently, I forgot to take a look at Virginia Tech’s team this year before making that comment. Their ACC slate started off about as I had expected – taking two of three from Maryland at home, getting swept at Clemson, taking two of three from Wake Forest at home… but then things changed. The Hokies won the first two contests against...
Virginia Baseball in the Pros: The Season Opens
Tuesday, April 13 2010 by Tiki - 0 comments
Periodically during the season, I am going to give some updates as the status of the Virginia baseball alumni in the professionals. While everybody knows about stars like Ryan Zimmerman of the Nationals and Mark Reynolds of the Diamondbacks, there are a whole bunch of Virginia guys playing in the minors, and they are harder to track. I’ve done much of the leg work, and the results are below. Players are listed in descending order of what level they are playing at. This first update is mostly just a list. In further updates, I’ll provide a little more information, including scouting reports and...
