Unfortunately, it came too late for Virginia. Clemson's Tyler Lumsden (6-0) picked up the win while junior Chris Gale (2-2) suffered his second loss of the season.
Virginia fared much better in the second game of the series, winning a close 4-1 battle and handing the Tigers their first home loss. Through seven innings the Cavaliers dominated, holding Clemson scoreless and putting four runs on the board. Freshman Mike Ballard (2-2) took home the win with five scoreless innings of work. Jeff Hahn (2-2) picked up the loss.

The game was back and forth in the early going, but then Clemson plated two in the third, jumping out to a 7-1 lead. Virginia was unable to answer back.
