Ethan Anderson had five hits, including homers from both sides of the plate, and #8 Virginia cruised to a 19-6 win over VCU on Tuesday night at The Diamond in Richmond.
The Cavaliers (32-6) led 9-0 after two, getting early homers from Kyle Teel and Jake Gelof, who had five RBI on the night – adding to his NCAA-leading total, which now stands at 67 through 38 games.
Anderson was 5-for-6 on the night, with the two homers and three doubles, and he was robbed of a sixth extra-base hit when VCU centerfielder AJ Mathis who came up with a diving play in the right center field gap.
