CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — The 20th-ranked University of Miami baseball team dropped its series finale against No. 7 Virginia, 6-3, Sunday afternoon at Disharoon Park.

“They outplayed us,” Miami head coach Gino DiMare said. “We didn’t walk a whole lot and we struck out a lot. They are tough at-bats. They are tough outs. They battle, foul pitches off and take you deep into counts. We have to play better on the road.”

The Hurricanes (20-12, 8-7 ACC) jumped ahead, 2-0, but the Cavaliers (28-4, 11-4 ACC) scored six unanswered runs in the middle innings and cruised the rest of the way.

Virginia junior third baseman Jake Gelof blasted a pair of two-run homers in back-to-back frames, tying the Cavaliers’ program record with his 36th and 37th career home runs.

Gelof’s jack in the fourth leveled the score at 2-2 and his round-tripper in the fifth pushed Virginia’s lead to 6-2.

Sophomore Anthony Stephan and freshman Henry Godbout each plated a tally to cap off the four-run fourth.
