The Virginia baseball team’s offense may be young, but it is currently playing at an impressive level.
The Cavaliers scored double-digit runs for the eighth time this season Tuesday, easily downing Navy 17-1 at Davenport Field. With the win, Virginia (13-0, 3-0 ACC) remains one of three undefeated teams in the nation along with Georgia and San Jose State.
For the fourth time in five games, Virginia tallied 20 or more hits, coming up with 23 last night. The Cavaliers also knocked two home runs — a grand slam by sophomore infielder Phil Gosselin and a solo shot by sophomore right fielder Dan Grovatt two batters later — last night in a six-run fourth inning.
Junior pitcher Jeff Lorick picked up his second win of the season, allowing three hits in six scoreless innings.
The Cavaliers face VMI tomorrow at Davenport Field before a home series against Florida State this weekend.
