Visiting Seminoles split rain-shortened series

The Virginia softball team split its doubleheader with Florida State this weekend. Virginia (20-17, 3-8 ACC) claimed the first game in a 1-0 shutout, but Florida State (30-19, 6-5 ACC) rallied to win the second game, 8-5. The two teams were originally slated to play three games over the weekend, but rain Saturday forced the series to be cut to two, which were both played on Sunday. In the opener, junior leadoff hitter Elea Crockett singled in the first inning for the Cavaliers.

Cavaliers head to Richmond for bounce-back game

The previous two times the Virginia Baseball team has been swept by a team from the Tar Heel State, the Cavaliers followed the losses with eight-run victories. They will try to continue that trend today when they play their first mid-week game on the road against the Richmond Spiders at 3:00. "It's going to be a little bit different, but I think [playing a mid-week game on the road] will be good for this team," Virginia utility player Sean Doolittle said.
