CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.  – Virginia (48-12) combined to score seven runs in the final three innings to pull away from East Carolina (47-19) in an 8-3 decision to win the Charlottesville Regional championship at Disharoon Park Sunday night (June 4).  

UVA starting left-hander Connelly Early earned the win after holding the Pirates to just two runs on seven hits and matched his career best of 10 strikeouts. He was named the Most Outstanding Player of the Charlottesville Regional. In addition to Early, Virginia’s Kyle Teel (C), Ethan Anderson (1B), Jake Gelof (3B), Casey Saucke (OF), Ethan O’Donnell (OF), Anthony Stephan (DH) and Nick Parker (P) earned all-tournament honors.  

Teel finished 4-for-5 at plate, including one home run, and notched two RBIs. Both O’Donnell and Stephan launched three-run home runs in the seventh and eighth innings, respectively, to help the Hoos slam the door Pirates, who eliminated UVA in last year’s Greenville Regional.
