John Paone (1-1, 4.79 ERA) took the loss for Virginia. He was tagged for five earned runs on three hits in four innings of work, the big shot being a three-run homer in the fourth off the bat of Hudson Lutterman, his fourth homer of the season.
Paone struck out four and walked two, and needed 80 pitches to get 12 outs.
Eric Becker (3) and Antonio Perrotta (4) each homered on the day for Virginia.
