For obvious reasons, what Virginia coach Brian O’Connor called the “play of the game” was overshadowed.

Virginia’s baseball team has a new favorite sound — or lack thereof. After Michael Schwimer successfully retired Florida State phenom Buster Posey on a liner to short in the ninth inning, a hush fell over the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville.

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.

For the first time since 2006, North Carolina has claimed a regular season series over Virginia.

Fueled by a game-changing four-run eighth inning, Coastal Carolina registered an 8-3 victory at Davenport Field on Tuesday, winning its eighth game this season against an ACC opponent.
