CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – No. 21 Virginia (41-11, 16-11) registered its third ACC sweep of the season with an 8-3 win over Louisville (29-22, 9-18) in the series finale on Sunday (May 14). Virginia finishes its home regular season slate with a record of 32-4 at Disharoon Park, tied for the most regular season home victories in program history.

It once again started on the mound for Virginia as starting pitcher Brian Edgington turned in six scoreless innings and fanned eight batters. He surrendered just two hits and allowed only one runner to reach second base. Beginning with the last out of the first inning, he retired 13-straight batters before giving up his only extra base hit of the afternoon, a leadoff double in the sixth. Edgington improved to 7-3 on the season and now tied for the staff lead with five quality starts.

For the weekend, Virginia starting pitchers Nick Parker, Connelly Early and Edgington combined to throw 18.1 innings, allowed three runs, struck out 19 and did not surrender a walk.

At the plate, Virginia was led by multi-RBI efforts from Ethan Anderson, Casey Saucke and Kyle Teel who each drove in a pair of runs.
