In June, the Atlanta Braves selected Thompson in the fifth round, much lower than expected, with the 160th pick overall. For now, Virginia’s all-time wins leader is waiting on a suitable offer from the organization to forgo his final year of eligibility as a Cavalier.

For the first time in over a month, Virginia exploded offensively against an ACC opponent. Ultimately, it did not matter.

In the first 16 starts of his collegiate career, most of which came last season, Matt Packer had never managed to retire a batter in the seventh inning. That changed Thursday night at Davenport Field in what could easily have been Virginia’s most important contest to date.

The top-ranked Hurricanes collected 16 hits en route to a 10-0 victory over the Cavaliers in the first lopsided contest of the series.

The Cavaliers, behind a season-best three homers, overcame chilly conditions and whipped Maryland, 11-4, at Shipley Field on Sunday.

Florida State scored lone runs in the 10th inning in a pair of contests to register back-to-back 3-2 wins during a doubleheader at Dick Howser Stadium.

UVa wrapped up a three-game series sweep of Virginia Tech Sunday afternoon with a 2-1 victory over the Hokies. The Cavaliers continued their recent dominance over the Hokies with their 12th straight win in the series, including all 10 games since Virginia Tech entered the ACC in 2005.
