Virginia scored 18 runs on nine hits and 13 Richmond walks – Spiders pitchers also hit three UVA batters – in an 18-6 run-rule win for the ‘Hoos on Tuesday.
The win was holding serve for Virginia (34-18, RPI: 23), which finishes up the 2026 regular season with a three-game series at Louisville (27-25, RPI: 93) that begins on Thursday.
Need to win two out of three in that one to keep the line moving.
Richmond (30-22, RPI: 134) couldn’t get out of its own way in UVA’s home finale.
I mean, 13 walks and three hit batters, seriously.
AJ Gracia (14) and Antonio Perrotta (4) each homered for the ‘Hoos.
Harrison Didawick was 3-for-6 at the plate – no walks; he was the only starter who did not get a free pass – with four RBIs.
Only two of Richmond’s six runs were earned, because of three UVA errors – two by shortstop RJ Holmes, one by third baseman Noah Murray.
Holmes has been the starter at short since April 12, with Eric Becker on the shelf.
Before you ask: no, I don’t know.
