Few stadiums provided a better home-field advantage in the NCAA Tournament last season than Disharoon Park. Virginia hosted both Regionals and Super Regionals in Charlottesville en route to its sixth trip to the College World Series and lost only one game along the way, outscoring its opponents 55-16 in a total of six games. Only Wake Forest and LSU did better from a win-loss standpoint in the 2023 NCAA Tournament.
"That was something we talked about. We're one of four teams that are hosting two years in a row, which is awesome," said junior catcher/designated hitter Ethan Anderson. "Trying to figure out what college I'm going to in high school, that's one of the reasons why you pick Virginia is you get to play in these environments."
It's not just playing in their home ballpark and getting to sleep in their own beds that gives the Cavaliers an advantage, as the home crowds that fill Disharoon Park to the brim fuels Virginia to reach another level on the field. For the players who experienced the lively sold-out crowds at the Dish a season ago, chasing the opportunity to host a regional again served as a "driving force" for them all throughout this regular season.
