Clemson (32-19, 10-15 ACC) scored three runs in the first inning and never looked back in an 8-2 win over No. 12 Virginia (36-13, 15-11 ACC) on Sunday.

The Cavaliers committed a season-high four errors in the contest, the first four-error game since the 2020 season. Including the Clemson series opener, UVA had come back to win in the three previous games an opponent has scored three runs in its first at bat.

The Cavalier offense was limited to eight hits, a combined four coming off the bats of Jake Gelof and Devin Ortiz. Each went 2-for-4 in the contest and Gelof scored one
