The Virginia Cavaliers lost to Florida 10-5 in the College World Series Friday, but remain optimistic heading into Saturday’s elimination game. In the postgame press conference, head coach Brian O’Connor and third baseman Kenny Towns talk about the team’s optimism heading into a third game against the Gators. Brandon Waddell and Josh Sborz combined to shut out Florida on Monday, holding the Gators to just 2 hits in the 1-0 victory.
