The UVA baseball team picked up a 5-4 win over No. 9 Miami Friday evening in front of 3,589 fans at Davenport Field. In snapping a nine-game Miami win streak, the Cavaliers (23-14, 8-11 ACC) got clutch, two-out hitting while the bullpen worked six innings after starting pitcher Nathan Kirby (Jr., Midlothian, Va.) exited after just three innings with a strained left lat muscle.
