Virginia Falls Short in NCAA Tournament

Virginia’s NCAA Tournament run ends in heartbreak after a 7-6 loss to Jacksonville State, rallying from a 7-0 deficit in the eighth inning but falling short in the ninth. A grand slam early and a dominant start by Jacksonville’s pitcher seemed to seal their fate — until Virginia’s gritty comeback nearly stole the win. Jake Weatherspoon and Eric Becker delivered clutch doubles, cutting the lead to one, but couldn’t push across the tying run. Despite the loss, the Cavaliers finish 37-23 and return to postseason play — a step forward in a season that ended with a bang, not a whimper.
