The Cavaliers' improbable run continues to the Championship Series against Vanderbilt. UVA was a 3-seed in the Regional play.

This is the equivalent of a 12-seed making the NCAA Championship Game in hoops.

Gentlemen...you just never know. This is why we love college sports. 

 

[Epictetus]

So ... Both defending champ Vandy, and the team they beat last year for the title, Virginia... came all the way... unseeded.

Wonder if that has ever happened before?

Two teams play for the title one year... and are not a top-8 seed the following year...but win through and show up again in the finals.

 

[tejasrulz]

So V vs V. I'm rooting for V but I think V will win.

 

[dillohorn]

My money is on V.

 

[joeywa]

My money is on V.

In the history of the world, V is undefeated. 

Ooops, sorry.  Wrong thread. 

 

[joeywa]

V wins game 1: 5-1.

FINAL

Vanderbilt 5

Virginia 1

Carson Fulmer was absolutely brilliant, only allowing one hit in his first 7.0 IP (and that was an infield single). Combine that with a two-out, two-run double by Will Toffey and that was enough to put the 'Dores within a win of defending their CWS title.

FINAL

Virginia 3

Vanderbilt 0

Vandy pitching has stifled the Cav's for 18 innings, but in Game 2 the baseball gods were in their dugout in the bottom of the 6th.....a couple of fortunate bounces on some hard hit balls and UVA plated three runs. That was more than enough for Haseley and Sborz.  UVA forces a winner-take-all Game 3.

The jinx works! One down, one to go.

I realized I'm not so much cheering *for* UVA, as I am *against* Vanderbilt.

Virginia 4

Vanderbilt 2

Heckuva game on both sides. The 'Dores struck for 2 in the 1st and then the Cavaliers put it on lockdown with pitching & defense.
