I was at the game. Been to about 8 or so of our home games. Sorry, my fellow UVA fans but we’re not a tournament team. I’ve kept hoping we’d turn it around but we’re just a good-to-average team. I’ll be back at Disharoon tomorrow though rooting us on vs Navy. Go Hoos! Edit: Navy game moved up to 3 p.m.

Arroyo gets the start on the bump. Should be all hands on deck today.

Nice pitching by the Hoos today. They threw strikes. Lots of contact by Navy batters but for outs. I think that sometimes our pitchers try to get too cute and are afraid of the batters making contact.
