CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – No. 14 Virginia (1-0) scored three runs in the bottom of the eighth and came away with a 10-8 victory over Hofstra (0-1) on Friday (Feb. 16) at Disharoon Park. The Cavaliers played in front of a crowd of 3,575, the second largest in an opener in program history.

Griff O’Ferrall, Anthony Stephan and freshman Henry Ford each had two-hit efforts to lead the Cavaliers attack. UVA broke an 7-7 tie in the eighth by taking advantage of four walks, two passed balls and two wild pitches in the game changing inning. In his collegiate debut, second year Aidan Teel, struck out the final two batters with the tying run on second base to seal the victory.

Virginia erased a pair of deficits in the contest to clinch their sixth-straight opening day victory.
