Virginia Regains Momentum, Overpowers No. 18 Stanford
Questions abound after Virginia's series win over Stanford—Is Virginia back on track? Is Stanford out of the race? This weekend, the Cavaliers provided compelling arguments in their favor, stunning the Cardinal and seizing the series convincingly.

Virginia's turnaround was catalyzed by a much-needed 11-8 win on Thursday, spearheaded by Jay Woolfolk's commanding performance on the mound and a rejuvenated offense. Key hitters like Aidan Teel, Eric Becker, and Henry Ford each contributed two hits and RBIs, while Chris Arroyo delivered a crucial home run. The Cavaliers' offensive revival continued into the second game, with Luke Hanson and Becker adding home runs in a 13-7 victory.

Conversely, Stanford's struggles deepen after a sweep by Cal and a disappointing 5-7 record in ACC play. The Cardinal's pitching, expected to be a stronghold, has faltered, and they face a challenging series against a surging Georgia Tech next.

Once the Seminoles' bullpen took over, Notre Dame's offense erupted, scoring 14 runs from the sixth inning onward, including five home runs.

Key performances came from Jared Zimbardo, who went 3-for-4 with a homer and two doubles, and Carson Tinney, who added a solo home run and a three-RBI double. Chase Van Ameyde, a freshman right-hander, was pivotal in relief, striking out four in 1.1 innings of shutout baseball. Despite their challenging season, this victory against Florida State highlights Notre Dame's potential, as they prepare to host a formidable Virginia Tech.

In the series' subsequent games, Virginia Tech maintained offensive pressure, with notable performances from Garrett Michel and closer Grant Manning, who secured the second game with an impressive relief stint.
