CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – In a game where runs were hard to come by, No. 7 Virginia defeated East Carolina 2-1 in the Charlottesville Regional of the NCAA Baseball tournament. Both teams were held scoreless until the bottom of the third inning when Kyle Teel hit a single into right field. That's when Jake Gelof came around to score for the 1-0 lead. ECU didn't have a response until the sixth inning. With two men on base, Ryley Johnson hit a soft blooper that bounced into shallow right field. While the Cavaliers were focused on getting the runner out at third, it provided enough of a distraction for the Pirates to plate the tying run to make it a 1-1 ballgame.
