UVA baseball pulled away for a 10-4 victory over Kansas State to clinch the Super Regional and punch its ticket to the 2024 College World Series.
Behind another stellar combined effort from the UVA pitching staff and some timely fireworks from the Cavalier bats, No. 12 Virginia pulled away for a 10-4 victory over Kansas State on Saturday afternoon at Disharoon Park to win the Charlottesville Super Regional and clinch a trip to Omaha for the 2024 College World Series.
After getting three hits in the first inning, UVA's batting order was stymied by Kansas State starter Jackson Wentworth for the next three innings. Woolfolk held serve on the other side after the game was tied at 2-2 in the second, retiring 11 of the next 12 batters he faced. Woolfolk pitched an easy 10-pitch sixth frame, but then gave up a one-out double to Chuck Ingram in the seventh to spell the end of his outing. Angelo Tonas entered the game for the second-straight day and got a couple of routine fly balls to end the inning with UVA still ahead by one.Friday night's game 1 win
Virginia's penchant for delivering with two outs showed out twice more in the top of the ninth, as Jacob Ference hit a two-run triple to right-center field. Kansas State reliever Josh Wintroub walked the next two batters before getting replaced by JJ Slack. Virginia pinch hit Luke Hanson for Eric Becker to get a better matchup with a righty batter facing a lefty pitcher.
