In a dramatic turn of events, the University of Miami baseball team came back from a 9-run deficit to eventually fall to the University of Virginia (UVA), ranked 13th, with a final score of 14-11. The game, part of a weekend series, saw several key moments, including Miami right fielder Jake Kulikowski's exceptional catch, Dorian Gonzalez Jr.'s 3-run homer, and a go-ahead grand slam. UVA's Casey Saucke significantly contributed to the victory by hitting two home runs, including a game-tying shot in the 8th inning, while Jack O'Connor secured the win with a scoreless 9th inning. This victory marked UVA's first ACC win of the season. Despite the loss, Miami's Blake Cyr was named the ACC Player of the Week after an impressive performance of 8 hits in 16 at-bats, including three home runs and 11 RBIs over the last four games.
