Harrison Didawick hit a walk-off two-run home run in the bottom of the 13th inning to give UVA baseball a 10-9 win over Virginia Tech to complete the series sweep in the regular season finale.
In a season filled with a countless number of comebacks, it was only fitting that the Cavaliers erased yet another large deficit to win their regular season finale and complete the series sweep over their in-state rivals in a marathon thriller.
Virginia put a dent in that deficit in the bottom of the third on a two-run home run from Casey Saucke, the 10th homer of the series for the Cavaliers.After struggling in the second, Jay Woolfolk settled in nicely, retiring seven of the next eight batters he faced and posting zeroes on the board in the third, fourth, and fifth innings.
If Virginia was just waiting for Virginia Tech to take the lead so as to make the ending as painful as possible, it would have looked something like this. Ethan Anderson drew a leadoff walk and then Harrison Didawick crushed a 2-2 pitch over the wall in right-center field for a walk-off two-run home run.The game-winning long ball from Didawick was the 22nd homer of the season for the sophomore, just one shy of Jake Gelof's single-season UVA record set last season.
