CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Jay Woolfolk settled down to pitch into the ninth inning after a rough start and No. 12 national seed Virginia scored six runs in its final time at bat in a 9-2 victory over Mississippi State on Sunday night, winning the Charlottesville Regional and earning a berth in the super regionals.
Woolfolk surrendered a two-run home run to Dakota Jordan in the bottom of the first inning after Henry Ford’s RBI single gave the Cavaliers (44-15) a 1-0 lead in the top half. David Mershon had a one-out single before Jordan homered.
Ford and Ference had RBI singles in the top of the third to put Virginia up 3-2. Both runs were unearned after a two-out throwing error by Mershon at shortstop
Woolfolk (3-1) held the Bulldogs (40-23) to five hits through seven scoreless innings after the first. He gave way to Chase Hungate after allowing a leadoff single in the ninth. Hungate’s second pitch turned into a double play.
