CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Sophomore Harrison Didawick hit a two-run, walk-off homer in the bottom of the 13th inning to lift No. 18 Virginia (40-14, 18-12 ACC) to a 10-9 victory over Virginia Tech (32-20, 14-16 ACC) on Saturday (May 18) at Disharoon Park. The Cavaliers swept the weekend series against the Hokies in a five-hour, 10-minute marathon, the third-longest game (time) in Virginia baseball history.
Virginia trailed 7-0 after the first two innings, was down 8-7 in the eighth and fell behind 9-8 in the top of the 13th only to come away with the sixth walk-off win of the season. The seven-run deficit was the largest UVA has overcome for a victory this season and the come-from-behind victory was the 20th of the year by the Cavaliers.
The home run for Didawick was his 22nd of the season and third of the weekend. He is now one home run shy of matching the program’s single season mark of 23 set by Jake Gelof last season. The Cavaliers hit 13 home runs in the series including four on Saturday.
Up next: UVA will face Georgia Tech on Wednesday at 11am in the ACC Tournament. The game will be carried live on WINA.
