Virginia falls to Hokies for third straight defeat

By Sean McLernon | April 16, 2003

As fast as freshman Rylan Rizza's backhand flew passed the baseline, his body hit the ground. Rizza's unforced error in a second set tiebreaker against Saber Kadiri clinched a 7-5, 7-6 victory for Kadiri in the deciding match of yesterday's 4-3 loss to Virginia Tech (18-6). The loss dropped Virginia's record to 20-7 and left a disappointed Rizza lying on the court with his hands on his head. This is the third straight narrow defeat for a Cavalier team that also fell to Clemson and North Carolina, 4-3, in the last week.

Cavaliers dethrone Monarchs at home

By Bayless Parsley | April 16, 2003

After a 16-0 home winning streak came to an end with two weekend losses to Miami, the Virginia baseball team has kindled another winning streak at Davenport Field with their 8-3 dismantling of Old Dominion Tuesday night. Despite worries that the 17 runs scored in the seven-inning spectacle against the 'Canes Sunday would deplete the Cavaliers of their allotted run total for the week, Virginia (22-12, 6-5 ACC) knocked in four in the third inning and three in the fourth to secure the win. Virginia pitcher Josh Myers (0-0) stole the show in his first career start, shaking off early-game jitters to throw 4.2 innings in a five-hit, one-run performance.
